POSTER 3 STAGE 2

POSTER 3 STAGE 1

FEEDBACK:

- The lamp might need to be slightly bigger - it's not very noticeable
- The credit block works well on this poster
- The glitter and effects look really good and reflect the 'genie' theme
- It looks a bit like Bride and Prejudice
- It's "cute"
- Like the background - even though it's not used on every poster it still works with the background of the film
- The picture of Luke and Genie looks cute and automatically shows they have a relationship
- The blue and yellow background looks really nice and the blue compliments the colour of her top and emphasises the colour
- The 3 posters have a clear housestyle!

POSTER 2

Usually film's use more than one poster to advertise and promote their film. The different posters are meant to target various audiences to the film, for example from my Rush Hour 3 task you can see the film used more than one poster to attract different people.

FEEDBACK FOR FINAL POSTER

FEEDBACK:


- The initial reaction from the audience was "That looks really good!"
- People said the polaroid pictures work really well and they suit the context of the film
- Keeping the pink and yellow background creates a housestyle
- The glitter works well to advertise the magical aspect of the film
- He looks like a "proper loser" - his character is defined well through the image
- You can clearly see it's a poster for the same film [as the first poster]


There were no suggestions for improvement - people immediately took a good reaction to this poster

FINAL POSTER 1

POSTER 1 STAGE 3

FEEDBACK:
we got feedback from our class and they suggested these following points:

· the YGZ Productions was in the wrong place (didn't suit where it was positioned). they sugesssted that we put it at the bottom. we came to a conclusion to take it out as it wasn't really needed and it looked much better.

· they liked the sparkles, glitter and the way the smoke comes out the lamp, on the poster and found it really went well with the genre of the film.

· they suggested that we look at other posters from our genre to see what other ideas we could get for our two other posters.

· We need to think about the layout of the "U" and the names at the bottom with the credit block - play around with the postioning or just take out the names of the characters as people felt it wasn't needed and too much was going on on the page.

· to make the dull hair band stand out, why not make it glitery.

· the tagline is a bit too big why not play around with the size.

POSTER 1 STAGE 2

DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE OF POSTER 1 STAGE 1

FEEDBACK FOR THIS POSTER
- The writing coming out of the lamp looks good and works well but it needs glitter or smoke coming out to connect it and make it look better
- There were debates on whether the genie should be as big as she is but after discussing it I was told that she should be the size she is
- There were suggestions about changing the colour of her headband and eyes...
- I was also told that Olivia shouldn't be on this poster and use this poster for just Luke and Genie
- There needs to be more glitter and stars to reflect the magical element of the film
- Maybe Luke should be in his 'geek' state otherwise it 'gives away the film' - however this was debated and it didn't give away the film exactly but some people thought it might be better to use him with glasses etc...
- Put a filter on the genie to show she is the genie (use glitter perhaps etc). She needs to be 'sparkly'.
- The font is effective and it's the right font for the poster

SKETCH POSTERS

FILM POSTER DISCUSSION

Within our groups we were asked to discuss what we plan to do for our film poster...
However we weren't asked to think about who we wanted on the poster or what objects or colours we wanted to include, we were told to consider what themes our film had, feelings we wanted to express and the messages behind it all. So we brainstormed our ideas...


Themes
- love
- friendship
- magic
- fantasy

Feelings and emotions we wanted our poster express
- Uplifting
- Easy on the mind
- A young love story
- 'Brightens up the day'
- "Awww"
- Happy film
- Simplistic to an extent - target audience of youngsters

Messages
- You don't always get what you think you want
- Be careful what you wish for
- Make your choices wisely
- You can be whoever you want to be



Thursday 5th November - Class discussions

Today we presented our ideas to our class who then gave us feedback on how they pictured our poster and what we could include. Considering they are our audience it was essential that we got their opinions because we need to give them what THEY want. So as each group explained what they wanted their poster to show or express everyone else closed their eyes and imagined the poster in their own way, then afterwards they fed back to the group.
So for our poster we told them what we were trying to achieve and these are the ideas they imagined....

comparing the same film poster but different versions

FINAL DESTINATION 3 - AS THE FILM DEVELOPS SO DOES THE POSTER AS THIS ONE GIVES US MORE OF A CLUE ON WHAT THE STORYLINE MIGHT BE ABOUT AS IT SHOWS A ROLLERCOASTER. IT'S GIVING US A LIGHT INTO THE FILM AS WHITE IS SHOWN.


FINAL DESTINATION 2- SUGGESTS TO ME THAT IT'S GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE FIRST FILM BUT THIS ONE MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO BE WITH A MOTARWAY AS ITS SHOWN ON THE FRONT. THIS ONE IS MORE MYSTERIOUS AS IT DOESN'T REALLY SHOW A SIGNIFICANT CHARACTER AND IT SAYS THERES ALWAYS AN END SO IT MIGHT BE CONTINUING FROM THE FIRST ONE. HOWEVER THE COLOURS ARE NEAR ENOUGH THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE BUT WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.


FINAL DESTINATION- THIS POSTER SUGGESTS THAT IT'S A THRILLER/HORROR AND THAT ALL THE CHARACTERS PLAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT IN THE FILM, HOWEVER THE BOYIN THE MIDDLE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER. THE CHARACTERS PROBERLY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON AS THE PICTURES OF THEIR FACES ARE EDITED IN SAME WAY. THE DARK COLOURS ALSO SUGGEST EVIL OR DEATH. THE IRONY OF LIGHTENING ALSO SUGGESTS THAT THIS FILM IS ABOUT BAD THINGS AS LIGHTENING IS SEEN TO BE BAD WEATHER. THE TAGLINES ARE ALSO NEGATIVE SHOWING TO US THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS THING THERE ARE AFRAID OF.

RESEARCH ON FAMILY FANTASY FILM POSTERS

SHORTS- the bright primary colours, red, green and blue show that it's targeted at children. you can see it's very crowed with suggested themes or issues of the film. it also shows the main characters of the film on the front. however with ours it will be very hard to show all the main characters taking place on one film poster, so we might interpret our poster in a different way.



PETER PAN-again this shows the use of crowdedness with sparkles suggesting magic like our film uses, so this could help us and give us ideas in ways to show the genre of our film. it also shows the three main characters. the contrast of dark and light colours also shows that good and evil is involved in this family fantasy.


MATILDA- primary colours like yellow and orange are also used in this poster to suggest it's targeted at the kids therefore making it similar to our target audience. the poisition of characters suggest to me the importance of the characters and that the main character is the girl in the middle as everyone else is surrounding her.


HARRY POTTER-can also relate to our film because of the magic, however dark colours suggest that it is more about dark mysterious magic, where as our film poster would have sommething to do with bright happy colours suggesting happiness and love.
