Poster Planning
i have decided on creating a poster as part of my project and have taken many things into consideration.One of the main things i have focused on is the codes and conventions of a poster as this will be very important when creating my own and making it effective and successful.
Large film name:
The name of the film is usually the largest text on the page so that it stands out the most. It is very important the title stands out to grab the target audiences attention and trying to persuade audiences to go and watch it. Therefore the title must be in large font so that it is easily seen by audiences. It is usually placed towards the bottom, the top or cantral point of the poster. I will ensure that my title is in the same font that I used for my trailer so that there is a link. The title will become the logo for my film therefore making it essential it remains the same throughout.
A shot or the main characters/character:
Usually featuring the main character, presented in a way in which the audience can identify and associate with the film. The image is always large and covers the majority of the page; this is because it is the main focal point of the poster.
Tagline:
It is difficult to give audiences an idea about the narrative of the film through a poster. A simple image and title does not always give much information, therefore a tagline is used. They are normally short and catchy, and are used to promote the film and give the audience a clue about the narrative. Taglines normally become an icon of the film because if it is catchy the audience will remember it and associate it with the film.
Credits:
Names of the actors will be in larger text if they are well known as this will help promote the film.These are usually placed at the very bottom of the poster underneath the title of the film including the names of people that have worked on the film such as directors, produ
cers, etc. The credits are always in a faint font so they do not stand out as much as the rest of the font on the page and often the production companies logo accompanies this credits.
Possible fonts for the poster
After deliberating over many fonts i came to the decision to use Century gothic as even though it is the most plain at simple out of my choice of fonts i think this is a strong point as it makes more of a statement and it easier to read
