Film poster

I chose the title alone as the film was based around children who were left baby sitting and when one child dies and the other runs away the youngest is left ALONE. Originally the stars names were smaller and the colour black. I changed the font size as they are important to the film and need to be seen. I change the colour so that they would stand out from the background image more. I chose to have a review and a rating as not all film posters have it so it’s not a typical convention but I wanted to do just one unconventional thing to make the poster unique. I made the font white so that it would stand out over the dark shades of her hair. This worked well as it became clearer to read. I made the title ALONE bright red to keep into the colour scheme and the logo of the film. I have used the same font style and colour throughout the poster, trailer and magazine. Originally the ALONE was not big enough to reach the edges of the poster so I made it big enough so that It could. The reason I did this was to show that ALONE was the title of the film. I used an image of the main character on the poster as it is conventional for the poster to show scenes or characters from the film. I took a picture of her in an enclosed space trying to get out of a door look really scared. The reason for this was that she could represent the genre of the film. The film genre is a thriller and in this image she looks frightened. I added the film distributor at the bottom right hand side of the poster so that people were aware of the institute promoting the film. This allows the audience to be familiar with the distributor and be more influenced to want to watch it. I placed the billing block at the bottom of the poster, the reason for this was because film posters have to have a billing block and the block looked much better being at the bottom as it has details of the film in more depth. I added the release date of the film underneath the billing block. I did this so that the audience new when the film was out and would help advertise the film. It is a convention of film posters but not always used or used differently. I decided to at the month and year and not a specific date. This way it keeps the audience more intrigued to find out when it’s in cinema’s. I chose the colours black, white and red purposely to fit my colour scheme that continues throughout my poster, film and magazine cover. The font also stays the same, I use Cambria as it is bold and effective.
