This is our film poster. When creating it, we wanted to stick to the common conventions of film posters we had researched. The initial purpose of a film poster is to attract the audience. it is designed to intrigue and tell enough of the story to make people interested and want to see more. When designing the poster, I went with idea of not using a colour. I wanted the poster to be in black and white to create a sort of sombre mood, conveying to the audience what the atmosphere of the film is. The fact that you do not see the protagonist's face make it all that more interesting. This reflects the genre of the film which is Social Relaism. The poster, gives that edgy, gritty feel that is common of many SR films. Our target audience are teens, so it was an obvious choice to put a teenager on the front. This again, all relates to the genre of our film.
Our review is effective in telling our audience what the film is about while not completely revealing the story, Our film review is more likely to appear in a BFI type film magazine. It would be appealing to lover of indie films, and of course, out target audience, teenagers.
The black and white theme was carried on from the poster to the film review, I wanted to link it to the poster and again, give it a slightly dark feel, which relates to the theme of our film. I also used an image from the film that is very similar to the poster, not showing Marcus' face. In the shot from the film in the review, we wanted to show iconography of SR films by having our main character surrounded by urban-looking area.
