Love Me film poster

There were many changes made from my AS media poster to my A2 poster. For example, my AS poster had the criticism of a lack of difference from my AS film cover. To combat this, I took a separate original image and used the same colour scheme and fonts to ensure synergy was maintained in my film poster. I also placed the film reviews on my film poster instead of my magazine front cover so that I could specifically advertise my film in the poster, whereas I could advertise the entire magazine in my front cover.


Main image - This is an original image we took for the production. We used it because it still hides the identity of the antagonist while giving the impression he is thinking. We also liked the idea that the tree could resemble ropes or vines that would be associated with being trapped, representing the kidnapping in our production.

Strap line - The name of my film is key in demonstrating what the film is on the magazine so is placed in front of the main image. This informs an audience about the name of the film and the red colour links to the magazine cover, promoting synergy.

Subheadings - The subheadings used in my AS poster have been removed and replaced by "coming soon". This is because my audience is already being informed about the film through the main image and reviews and too much detail would prevent the film from being able to self-advertise.

Character names - We promoted the main characters in the film above the strap line to inform the audience of who they can expect to see in the film. This also allows us to use the star power of the main characters to promote the film.

Sub text - The sub text is used to inform the audience about other people involved in the production of the film. It is placed at the bottom of the poster with small font so that it is not in focus but still has the ability to attract audiences who are interested in other cast members.
