My Chosen Poster

The poster I have chosen for my film is the character poster as I feel it teases the audience but also intrigues them enough to seek out the film.

During a recent focus group session I asked which poster the group like better A or B:

A                                                                                                                          B

The decision was poster B as it felt more like a poster for a film whereas poster A felt unfinished, I have included the measurements for the poster to be exhibited in a issue of my chosen magazine next to the review.

Mock Up Posters

After my analysis of the posters I created mock up posters for my own film:

Teaser:

The poster depicts a plate of toast with jam spread with a threatening knife to make the jam look like blood which fits within my genre of crime as it teases the audience with violence, I included a tagline and date for the film with the film 4 logo as I have chosen to distribute my film through that company.





Character:

This poster shows the main character holstering a weapon which shows he is dangerous with a threatening look towards the audience, the information included is the tagline, title, date and website link to find out more about the film, I can also include the name of the actor who portrays the character.





Theatrical:

This poster shows the main character outside the films location with a view of the underground of his house to show bodies of people he has killed, the information I would include on this poster would be the distributor, director's name, producers, actors, etc with the date of the film and link to the website.

Poster Analysis

Below I analysed the three types of poster (Teaser, Character and Theatrical) for the film "Mean Streets" as it has the same type of style I am aiming for in my own film:

Teaser:

Character:

Theatrical:

From this analysis my favourite type of poster is the character poster as you can show the audience little sneak peaks of the traits they hold.

My Storyboard

Music (Updated)

I have been frantically trying to edit my soundtrack but problems that have arised are being unable to upload or after editing the clip resorts back to its original form. 

To correct this I have uploaded my song onto the software 'Garage band' and have successfully edited the song but now having problems uploading into ' I-movie'

I have now uploaded the music onto Imovie and trimmed it into a 30 second piece.
