EvaluationBy George Silke

Film Poster Research To help me create my film poster I got

images of various other posters. Those posters were from the action/adventure genre which is the one we are studying. These action/adventure posters all had similar elements in theme. They usually had red or silver font. They all had the main character in the centre.

Creating the ProductionBefore I made the poster, I had to think about

what my film would be about. The film is set in space so I chose the title “Dead Star” because it had something to do with space. I then got a picture of Kelsey and put it on my poster because that was one of the tasks. I then added on different elements like a tagline, billing and a font for the title.

My posters and real film postersI took inspiration from real film posters of the

same genre to make my poster. My main inspiration was the “Avengers Assemble” poster. It has many of the same elements as my poster. The poster is similar to my poster in many ways. There is a ship in the background of both posters.

Target AudienceThis film appeals to my target audience

because it mostly stars young actors like Emma Watson. Emma Watson starred in the “Harry Potter” series which was also aimed at young adults. It also has a theme of action and suspense which would also appeal to young adults.

My Finished Film PostersI feel that my film posters were quite successful. I

made a teaser poster, the main poster and a poster aimed at a female audience. The teaser posters strength is that the background is eye-catching. The weakness is that it is not very detailed. My female posters strength is that it is very colourful. The weakness is that I didn’t use the lasso tool very well and the edges are a bit jagged. The main posters strength is that there are lots of different elements to it that work really well together. The weakness is that there could be more detail on it.
