Research (Ancillary Products): Initial Poster Design 3

With this final poster idea, I have tried to create a very professional lay-out. This is following the lay-out of the some of the posters I analysed previously. I have made sure all parts included are symmetrical and follow a 'in-line' layout. I have put the main focal images in the centre. This is because I feel that this engages the audience at first glance. Therefore having it small will only not engage the audience, but not emphasise the film as well. I have decided that the main images will mostly be in the background behind the titles as well. This is because the look of the poster will have a more professional feel to it, instead of the titles being on a background of white.

For example, like this poster of In Time, the whole of the main image is the background of the poster, however the important section (the two characters) is in the centre of the focal point. The title I made sure is the second most important convention of the poster, being as well a big part of catching the audiences eyes. I made sure the title is also in the centre of the poster, therefore instantly catches the eyes as well as being big. With the tagline I didn't include on the plan, however it will be placed under the title, so it can be read straight after the title being read.  The release date is then underneath the tag line, making sure to the audience to know when the poster is being released and therefore when to watch it. Awards are presented either side of the title and tagline. Ive added the awards to make sure the audience gauge the popularity and success of the film, making them therefore watch it more.


For example, this is the logo (Los Angeles Movie Awards) I would want to put in one of the award sections on my poster. As this adds to the professional look and the success of it. As well as this, at the bottom of the poster will be the website of our film. For example,  I shall put something along the lines of "www.JonJimFilms/PhoneAlone.co.uk", this makes the audience research more into the film and also can check of the website for any other work we have created. A star rating review above the focal image with a quote will summarise the film into a compliment above the focal image. I located around the centre and near the focal image so the audience read that near the start, for an extra opinion to the film, making them watch the film. Actors names will be added to the top of the screen, so therefore the audience know whose in the film, and any actors they like will be persuaded to watch it. This is just the start of a design of a poster for our film. I will gain feedback from target audience to which poster they like and then pick this one, which my opinion also.
