Like my double page spread I looked at industry style examples to get influence. This poster immediately relates to my product, and just from one quick look at the text and audience can see what genre film this poster is advertising. I think this is a very important feature of this text and I have tried to mirror this in my product, the backdrop of this poster shows the location the film is set in, I have also done this on my poster. The backdrop suggests a city environment which is very conventional of a crime film. For my poster I have only used one main image where as this text has two, I liked the idea of using two images and trying to blend them into one another however didn't feel it was right for my product. The placement of the text and font style compliments the genre of the film very well, the large block capitals suggest power and authority which continues to relate to the Crime element of the film. I have also tried to use the font effectively on my product and believe I have achieved this. Overall I mainly took note of the background of this poster and the use of location to instantly highlight the Genre of the film, also the use of font style which I also incorporates into my product. The use of crime conventions used in this poster appeals to its target audience and delivers an industry standard finish, something I hoped my work would end up like.
Second Poster
This text to me seemed alot more Hollywood Orientated, I think the use of the rich blue colour suggests this film was made with a high budget and intended for a world wide audience. The use of Ray Winston suggests the director has tried to keep viewers satisfied as he is associated with British crime films, he is very much a stock character of the genre. The poster allows the audience to briefly interact with the cast of the film, this is something I tried to achieve, even though I only have one character in my product, I still feel it was important to show my character in full costume. This allows the audience to interact and get their own personal feel for the genre of the film. My character is also very enigmatic and I believe the image I have used shows this side of him, this hopefully drives the audience to want to know more about him, alot like the characters from the text above, the audience are presented with characters they know nothing about, but they can only make assumptions based on Mise en scene and previous roles. The use of the text across the poster I found very effective and feel it blends well with the images behind, however I don't like the colour of the text. The colour doesn't match well with the background or images. Overall I think the image on this poster is very effective and allows audience interaction, like the first text the image immediately suggests to the audience what genre the film is. The slogan at the bottom of the page also helps to sell the plot, this is again something I admired about the poster and considered using in my own work. Overall this poster helped me to consider Image placment and the importance of what image to use for my poster.
Poster 3
This final poster I studied highlights alot of things I didnt want my poster to be like. For example tthe poster immediatly suggests the film is an action film, with gun fights and tense action scenes, the main image and the text " RocknRolla" seems to glamourize crime. This is something I have deffinatley avoided in my film. The image used on this poster appeals to a younger generation, for example the toned body and use of dual guns highlights an urban gangster feel, I have tried to create a sophisticated more elegant tone. However I feel the use of colour on this poster is very effective and compliments the main image very well, the colour connotoes a gritty plotline and continues to suggest the film is about crime. The slogans again allow the audience to interact as "Are you a RocknRolla?" asks the audience a question. The poster also contains a website which suggests the film is aimed at a wide audience and along with the main image suggests this movie was also intended for Hollywood. There is also a sell line as the text says who directored the film and gives examples of other similar films they created. I think this is an effective point of the poster and is something used on many industry standard texts. Overall this text seems to glamourize crime and the characters in the narrative, this is something I have avoided in my text, however I still took influence from this poster, for example the large image again sells the genre of the film being advertised, I have also used this convention. In conclusion I do beleive this poster is aimed at a younger target audience, which is not why i aimed my product to be like.
