Poster analysis

After some feedback i have decided on what poster that would be best for analysis. This poster here entitles many aspects similar to my teaser trailer, this is most likely because the image used for this poster is an actually still from one of the shots i made during filming. The whole aspect of all my media production was to do something that was outside media conventions, including this poster here. The initial idea of the teaser trailer was to follow the drama genre. That meant that all the settings and character had to be grounded to reality and have qualities that a normal person could understand and relate to. This is what my whole poster is about; it was designed for the audience to recognise and then pick apart different aspects of the poster such as who is this person, what is he like, where is his location, what is he doing there and etc. The whole media production was made to be based in a contemporary urban environment as you can see here. I thought this was a good idea, so that it would create some sort of backstory without actually telling the story itself. That is why the poster is left so vague compared to the other poster that was telling a different message. There is no slogan on this poster, as I thought I would be best for the viewer to choose one, since the poster had a strong image to hold up everything. The top of the mentions that that the film is an adaption of a novel, this was to make it seem more a real movie poster. I also made up two logos and a website to follow this up. I keep all text away from main image, however I had to make sure that the title stood out and the credit blocks were easy to read. The poster was purposely de-saturated red to kind of follow the theme of the teaser trailer, which is in black and white. The colour red can mean a number of things, love, hate, passion and so many other things. That’s why I left chose that colour, as it made the poster more ambiguous.
