TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Film Poster Design

CastI have included the leading

cast at the top: Hana Thain

and Sam Mallock. It is

conventional to find the names

of stars included on a film

poster. Although Hana and

Sam are unknown actors,

within the trailer we have

presented them as upcoming.

Focal Imagewill be using a screenshot from

existing footage as the focal

image. This captures a kiss

shared between the two

protagonists. I feel that this

screenshot clearly presents the

‘coming of age’ genre and the

theme of romance; the two

teenagers are lost in love -

perhaps first love. The

surrounding setting of the

reservoir shows adventure in

the relationship; this

spontaneous spirit would be

expected from two young

lovers. I really like the colours

within this screenshot; the

setting sun casts shades of

blue, pink and orange over the

two characters.

Billing Block I will conform to poster

conventions by including a billing

block at the bottom of my poster

- I will search for a ‘steel tongs’

font.

Title I will be placing the title of our

trailer at the bottom of the film

poster. This will be written in

the ‘dolce vita’ font that we

used

within our inter-titles.

QuoteAs I intend to keep the

poster quite minimalist in

design, I will be including

one quote to show received

critical acclaim; this is a

‘supposed’ quote from the

Guardian’s Film Critic Peter

Bradshaw. I considered

including Laurel Leaf

Awards, however, I am

unsure on how this would

look beside my focal image.

Colours to be

included…
