Poster Drafts & Final Poster Design.

                                                                FINAL DESIGN
 After much deliberation between mine and kates poster design we have chosen this poster as our final poster design as aesthetically it is maybe not the best poster however what the poster tells the potential audience speaks alot more. the reflected words help portray our mirror theme along with the reflected people from the top half of the image, however their reflections are the reflections seen in the mirror in our short film mirror. i overlayed a dusty effect over the images to imitate as dirt6y mirror and there is a silver bar running underneath the title mirror ther colour itself has connotations of mirrors or metallic shiny objects.

Little White Lies - Layout Conventions

"Little White Lies" reviews always have the exact same layout, as you can see in the spread above. They do change over time but only by very small detail. As we are making a review for the particular magazine we want it to look exactly how it would in the real thing.To be able to do this we have to take a detailed look at what the conventions are of a" Little White Lies" review

Little White Lies Research

Little White Lies, what is it?
Little White Lies is a high end, internationally distributed film magazine. The content is split into 3 different acts. The first being the lead review, then there is a series of feature articles inspired by the film on the front cover, the final section is the reviews section which can also feature interviews from different directors and stars of the movies.

Who reads it?
There is a certain group of people who buy and read "Little White Lies". These are firstly men, aged between 25-35 who work in the creative industry. The magazine itself costs £6 per copy but many people buy it on subscription, this maintains the audience and shows that you have to have money to spare to buy the magazine or be dedicated to the content. The readers of the magazine will be very different to the audience of our short film, this is because our target audience is both sexes aged between 15-19.

I Thought I Told You To Shut Up Film Poster Analysis

 

The short film poster is done a bit differently to many other film posters i have seen, this one contains no imagery only illustrations this give the angry looking milkman on the cover of the poster a very comedic edge as it is drawn in an almost cartoonistic style, the largest name on the front of this poster is the narrator, Jonathan Demme. the cartoon milkman on the front is not the main character of the documentary, but the focus point. there is no tagline however i believe the title in itself has that blunt cleverness to it, properties of a tagline. the illustration style on the poster is continued through into the short film, linking the two and creating some really cool animation. the title is in large bubbly black font at the top of the poster, it is a textured font which gives it some age, the look of the milkman and his van show the audience that the illustrations are not set in our time frame but perhaps a couple of decades ago. the billing block at the bottom of the page is done in a different font to the title however looks and works well as a billing block, beneath of it are the production companies such as milkman productions 2015, Bellmedia, BravoFACTUAL and La Rue. next to these is the website www.itoldyoutoshutup.com. i really enjoy the overall layout of the poster from text to image, hte large title at the top is shown above some very effective illustrations in both the foreground and background of the image, and some more condensed info-graphic text at the bottom of the page ties the needed information into the poster.

The 414's film poster analysis

The 414's: The Original Teenage Hackers

The film poster for the 414s is a dark poster with bold lighter font displaying the titles and actors names etc. the actors names are displayed on the bottom of the poster, the fact the actors names are noticeably smaller than most of the other font sizes on the poster tells the audience that the actors are not very well known. above the title is a sun dance film awards sticker showing it has made its way to winning a sun dance award, this tells the audience that although the actors are not very well known the actual short film must be very good as it has won awards. the main chunk of text 'The 414's' is placed over a dark black background meant to be shadow, this makes the title stand out especially in the colour chosen, the style of the text is almost a metal chrome that is slightly aged, this fits in with the time frame of the movie as from what the imagery on the poster is telling us it is set in the 80s, we can tell this from the style of clothes the man in the picture is wearing but also from the props the old style t.v and phone and the newspaper clipping up on the wall shows latest news story's such as 'details emerge on raids into US computers'. The tagline for the movie is 'change your passwords.' this not only links in with the title 'teenage hackers' but also fits in with the imagery on the poster with computers and keyboards. The website is displayed on the bottom of the poster www.the414s.com. there are no critics comments at all on the poster, this helps with the look of the poster as it is an aesthetic poster and looks very nice, more text would clutter the image, however critics comments would help to give the viewer of the poster a better idea of the quality of the film.
