Analysis of an Action Film Poster:

In the background of this poster, we can see fire, lots of helicopters, apes on the loose around the city etc. All of these features represent the chaos and destruction that is usually present on an action poster. The background is a long shot allowing the viewer to get a glimpse of what the movie is about and also enticing the viewer to pay money to watch it.

The shot of the 3 characters is a close up. This allows us as the viewers to understand the emotions and feelings of the characters. Also, the fact that the ape is bigger and above the rest of the characters, shows us that the ape is the more dominant character & that he is in control since he is at the top.

The typography is bold, silver and shiny adding emphasis to the poster since it stands out.

Treatment for The Exchange:

consists of 5 main characters,

a group of rebellious school friends who have been forced by their parents to go on a educational school trip to Rome to meet with their new Italian exchange students. Though while on the trip, the friends, including their crew leader Max (Scott Felix) witness the death of their teacher, Mr Liocu. But who would want to kill Mr Liocu? Was it an accident or a planned assassination? After sneaking out and unwillingly stumbling across a bundle of stolen goods in an abandoned warehouse, the group are in sudden danger. On a risk-taking mission to seek the truth, these reckless, daring kids are pushed to their limits and are willing to go to all extremes to find the answers.

The movie will be filmed in Rome, with replica guns and weapons to prevent injury of the actors. The main actors will be taught how to do low scale fighting however stunt doubles will be used for anything bigger. There will be interior shots though most will be exterior, saving money on lighting due to the majority of good, sunny weather in Italy. Certain scenes however that do not need to be filmed in Rome can be shot back in England to cut down on cost of production.

Since its aimed towards a youth audience, posters will be hung in shopping centres, cinemas, gaming arcades etc. as these are all places you would find teenagers.

Updates about the film will be constantly posted on social media sites including, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and Youtube because the majority of youth nowadays spend time surfing the internet and on social networking websites.
