The first film poster I sent out got mixed reviews. Despite the positives, there were a lot of things that I could improve on. I took this constructive criticism and changed the elements that I felt necessary.
- The first change I made was changing the date from a numerical format to, 'Coming Soon', I felt it looked more visually appealing than the number.
- Secondly, I moved the text higher up to give the poster a more spacious look and feel. The text 'From the director of...' I moved up slightly so that it came into contact with the sun ray on the main image. I liked the reflective effect that it gave the text.
- I then added a tagline. This is a common convention of film posters and I didn't consider it before now. I added this to give the audience more of a feeling as to what the narrative was about and felt it acted as a good 'hint'. I made this in a different font because I wanted the audience to be able to tell that this text was a tagline and so served a different purpose than the other text. On top of this, I changed the opacity of the tagline to give it a fading out effect. I did this as I felt is further emphasised the mysteriousness and also showed off more of my technical abilities.
