Here is the attempt I made to create a poster for my teen angst:
- I have included a large bold title of my film in a sans serif font, which i created on cooltext.com. I gave this title a pink font colour as it connotes the genre of this film and it is also used as iconography as the title in my actual film is also in pink text, and this feature is used throughout the poster in order to appeal to the predominantly female audience (as my target audience is 12-18 year old girls, and this colour appeals to them most.
- I also included a fairly large image of the two main characters (played by Alice and Giorgia). This is to enhance the audience's understanding so they know that this is a teen angst film as the main characters are both female. This image along with the large amount of pink text should make the genre of this film easy to identify.
- I included the names of both the main actors (Alive Willard and Giorgia Barker) at the top-mid section of the poster, just above the image of both of their characters in a shot taken from the film. This presents their importance and relevance in the film and also allows the audience to identify who is playing the two main characters.
- I have included the age certificate of the film in the bottom left of the poster, jsut above the production company for this film. I made this a fairly small image and put it at the bottom of the poster as it isn't that important and I don't want it getting in the way of the main focuses on the poster. This is generally where age certificates are presented on posters. The age certificate for this film is 12A and this is justifiable as my target audience is 12-18 year old girls.
- I included an image of the production company logo in the bottom left of the poster, this is so the audience can recognise the quality of the film as the production company that produced this film is of high quality, this is connoted with the gold text and the word 'victory'. I also used the name of the production logo at the top of the poster to introduce this film.
- I created a film website 'www.highexpectationsfilm.co.uk' and included this at the bottom of the film poster so the audience can identify this after reading about it's main review, and this should influence them to visit the website and become more interacted.
- I included the award that this film won, which was BAFTAS Best British Film, and I included this at the very top of the poster to immediately appeal to the audience. This is to attarct a wider audience as if they see the evidence of the success of this film then they will be persuaded to buy the film, and this will increase it's popularity and success, as the BAFTA awards are a very prestigous event.
- Names of the film porducer and director are included in the small print at the bottom of the page, along with the music and sound and editing team in order to enhance the recognistion of these people. If the audience recognise these people from other products then they will be further persuaded to buy the film.
- I included the release date of this film which was August 15th, and this is because this is a peak time to release our film on DVD as it is when the British summer holidays are occuring. This means that teenage girls of the age of 12-18 (which is my target audience) are not in school and therefore are availible to buy the film. This will influence them to buy it as they will not have a large amount of other things happening during this stage of the summer holiday, as people tend to go on holiday during the first two weeks of the summer break (end of July - begining of August).
- I included a 5-star rating and a quote "An amazing story portraying the lives of two very different girls stuck in the same world." from the magazine 'HEAT' which is a very popular magazine among this target audience as the main buyers of this particular magazine is teenage - early adult women.
A good first effort, however the font used is very basic. This needs adressing before you produce you real coursework piece.
