Final Poster.

FINAL POSTER

 

The photo

 The aspect within our trailer that I believe stands out the most is the picture. Instead of using Photoshop to create the picture we went out and took many pictures and we choose the most professional one, and the one we could fit a heading, a title, doodles and a billing board on.  This photo was inspired by the film poster 'it's a boy girl thing' as both characters are sitting on a bench. We have used exaggerated poses to show our characters to the viewer. Our costumes also show each  character, but I think we could of exaggerated the geeks costume more because she just looks like a normal girl. Within the photo we still used the idea of a brick wall which enhances our location of  school. Another aspect of the photo that I love is the lighting, we picked a really nice crisp day to have our photo shoot, and I love that fact that the sun is shining on the bad girls face, for shadowing that she will turn 'light.' I believe this photo looks utterly beautiful.

The title and heading

  The title has worked extremely well with this poster as it does symbolise happiness and represents our genre well. I believe the mustard colour is bold but also is harmonious to our chosen photo. It also believe it connects with the doodles within our poster. We decided to use a catch phrase within our poster which is 'will they ever change back?' we places this above the title as most movie posters have a convention where they has either a synopsise, heading, quote or review above the title. I believe our heading works well to enforce the narrative to the viewer.

 

The Names

 We decided to include the names of the actresses within our poster as we wanted them to be well known within the filming industry. This will make more people want to see our movie as they will have a pre conception of the film due to the actresses within it. Before we had the text 'starring Amie Hartland' but while we were looking at film posters within our genre they only have the names so we changed the text to ' Amie Hartland' and 'Aimee Vaccarello.' I believe the colours within the bubbles surround the names have worked well because even though our characters haven't swapped In the poster the colours within the bubbles have, surrounding the bubble of 'Amie Hartland' there is the angel wing doodle, this contrasts the devil horns on her head and this for shadows she will turn into a good girl.

The doodles

  I believe that the doodles I created have worked extremely well within this poster. not only do they cover up black spaces, but they fit in really well with our movie genre, the location our film is set, the characters and the essence we were trying to create with this poster. I believe the doodles work in favour towards our target audience of 14-25 year old girls as everyone remembers doodling in there school books, or still does depending on the age.

 

The billing board.

   While looking at film poster conventions we decided to make our billing board noticeable but very small as it's not the most important aspect within our poster. At the bottom of the billing board we incorporates our production logo 'new line cinema' but this could be a bit to small.
