ANALYSING MY FILM POSTER

FILM TITLE: Is prominently positioned at the top centre and its mirror image contains the tagline, making an intriguing shadow. The FONT is bold, smooth, modern and metallic coloured, with futuristic features.

CENTRAL IMAGE features one of the main protagonists out at night with his hands spread out wide as he gazes at the city. He stands in the glare of the headlights of an oncoming car, clearly a very dangerous risk to take. The thriller GENRE is therefore made clear to the viewer.
In the trailer, we learn that a group of young people have been drugged in a scientific test and are now being controlled by the doctor involved. They are issued certain challenges which involve risk, hence the title Risk. The image in the poster depicts one of the protagonists at the point when they are about to launch them self into one of the challenges they face. That is why this poster has the sense of danger conveyed by the night-time theme and the city environment. COLOURS are key to suggesting the thrills and the danger, such as the bright colours with a lot going on which can relate to the protagonists with the many dangers they would have to face. The TAGLINE provides the ANCHORAGE: "Will you take the risk" shows the dangers and challenges. Therefore, this would make it easier for audiences to know what genre our film would be.

BILLING BLOCK: The billing block in my film is used to have a list of the people that are involved with the film such as listing all the people in my group and the roles that they played in making the trailer. Such as showing which people directed the film along with with the people who were stared in the film. 

SOCIAL MEDIA & WEBSITE: At the bottom of the poster it has the pictures of the social media platforms that our trailer would use, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and a QR code which would be linked back to my blog. The use of the social media links on the poster would allow the audience to keep track of whats going on with the film. 

DATE OF RELEASE: The release date of the film is at the bottom of the poster in big writing so that its clear to the audience who see the poster would know when the film would be release and keep up to date with the social media of the film up until the date.

AWARDS: Finally, the awards on the poster is the 'Official selection st albans film festive' along with other film reviews from 'IMDB' and 'Daily news' This is good because it allows the audiences to see if the film would be worth seeing depending on the reviews that its received.

  1. Excellent grasp of genre codes such as the signalling of the trailer's thriller narrative via the man caught in the headlights of the speeding car (connoting risk) with a suggestive tagline communicating risk, thus reinforcing the film title. Creative and appropriate use of colour. Excellent grasp of genre conventions (billing block,layout, puffs and so on).
