Movie Poster

This is our first development of a movie poster for our film. We used my poster design layout to guide me, although we have made some small alterations to fit the text on. For this poster we photographed the female protagonist sitting on the floor in the corner looking distressed, she is in a school environment, you can tell this by the lockers in particular. This correlates to the movie trailer because there are scenes involving the school. We decided to add a 'posterize' effect to the image to make the photo look more effective and again portraying the social realist genre because the image has become grainy through the use of the edit.
For the typography we used the 'Prestige Elite Standard' font, this typography indicates typing therefore relating to one of our main themes within the film of cyber bullying. We edited the title and the release date fonts to have a drop shadow and an outer glow; our intention with this was to catch the viewer's attention.
On the poster we have also included a quote and rating from an independent film magazine, relative to our work because this looks believable enough to be rated by this magazine. Alongside this, we have also included small print at the bottom informing the viewer of the institution and other information with the film certificate; again this would appeal to our target audience.

This is our second development, we decided to use a different design layout to work better with the different image. This photograph was taken on school grounds but it is an exterior shot. For the main image we decided to duplicate a section of the image of our female protagonist so that we could overlay this colour image on a black and white background. we wanted to experiment with this style because it shows there are themes included in the film that aren't always positive and therefore it relays the mood of the film. Similar to my first poster, we kept the same font for the same reasons, however, we only added a drop shadow to the title.
