For our project this year we had to make a poster, in connection with our film. We decided to look at other film posters, to help us and give us ideas for our poster. We looked at Captain Phillips, which is a drama. We looked at this film, as it was in the same genre of us, and felt that it would help us. We liked this poster as it was effective through the use of colours, and the of the main character as a USP.
For our own poster, we used iPiccy, an online website. We decided to use this as it was free and enabled us to do everything we needed to, To make our poster more effective, we added a black eye to Ava's face in the mirror. This shows to audiences what our film is about. We also copied most posters and added what other films we have done, so we included 'From the directors of Clubbing' to link in our other film. This made it look more professional. We tried to link the poster with the magazine review. This was done by using the same picture, and also the use of the colour. The title of the poster was done in purple. and we matched this on our review. We also made the headings in our review purple, however it wasn't the exact shade, however it was similar.
One problem we did face with the poster was the colour of the writing. As the colour of Lauren's hair is quite dark, we tried to find a colour that you could see clearly, however this was near impossible as the background is light. Therefore, black was the only colour that we could use that was visible.
