This is my final draft of my film poster and this time I have done it landscape. I made it quite similar to my other draft in terms of font and house style, however, as part of my feedback on my first draft was to add more information on it as it looked very 'dull'. I began to look and analyse other film posters and I noticed that they all had blocking text situated somewhere on the poster.
Firstly, I decided to overlap two photos of the two girls who are playing the same person in my short film. However, the main focus is on the younger girl as we can see that the light is much brighter on her face, which implies that she is the most significant character as she portrays 'Nina's' childhood and her terrible upbringing. So the message is almost a if this is what we see behind her face, behind the appearance there is a lot more to her. It also gives off a similar impression as the 'don't judge a book by it's cover' as it's as if you shouldn't judge a person by their appearance as there may be a lot more behind it. I have kept the names the same at the top as these people are the main actresses within my short film.
The title on the other hand, I decided that this time I wanted the title to go across their mouths as though her name and her appearance takes over what is actually her life and/or her past. In the present tense scenes with the counsellor and Nina in my short film, we only see what nina looks like and at the end we find out her name... This links to the poster as well because so far we can only see what she looks like and what her name is. As seen before on my first draft, I decided to keep the 'Unseen, Unheard and Unwanted' as people said that these words were very powerful on my previous draft so therefore, I have kept them on this draft as well. I feel that after my target audience has seen these three words it gives a clear realisation of what the film is going to involve.
Also, the blocking text I have included this time makes my film poster look more professional as now it is complete unlike my previous draft looking 'dull' an 'empty'. The blocking text is used to tell the reader who it is produced by, who stars in it, and who's edited it... etc. These may also help the audience recognise someone who stars in it, although this is not the situation for me as mine is a short film for a2 media so unfortunately there are no big stars in my film!
lastly, I have kept the house style the same as this sans serif white font is what we see in my short film also. I wanted to keep this font the same throughout the making on=f my short film and my ancillary tasks as it helps it look professional and neat. On the other hand, the blocking text is in a completely different font which is still white but a serif font which contrasts greatly with the rest of the text. This specific text is in a different font because whilst researching blocking text on film posters I realised that the same or similar font was used on pretty much every film poster. So to keep and follow this convention I decided to keep a similar font on my own film poster to help it look professional.
Feedback
Paige - "It's good and I like how there's a layered picture because it adds effect and makes it look as if the film will be better quality I don't really know how you could improve it because it's really good already"
