Finished Movie Poster

The poster feedback that I got after uploading them all on to Face Book to see the range of comments that we got was interesting to see how people felt towards each one, some felt that we needed a punch line or slogan to add to the poster to capture the plot of the movie as well as create the theme of it. We decided that we needed something romantic to attract the audience that we were aiming at, 'all great loves come to an end' and 'young love is the most dangerous' were some that we had thought of before deciding on -
'every great love starts at first sight'
we felt that we weren't give to much of the movie theme away but we were suggesting that there may be a twist in the plot.
We also needed to add the 12 certificate which we felt placing the movie as a 12 was the best as it did involve very important and violent issues but it also was appropriate as it didn't have so much violence and 'gory' images.
I also made the image portrait to conform to the typical layout of a movie poster which is easier to display and more pleasing on the eye.
This is the finished image for the movie poster...



I feel that the lighting and the contrast between the background and the focus of the characters embracing is very effective, because they are shaded in black and white it create the effect that they are more important and have a large focal point. It also creates the idea that something bad happens to each of them because the black and white connotes a very dark and negative view. The positioning of the characters within the image is effective because its eye catching and as they aren't in the middle it creates the pleasing effect. The layout of the writing is also effective because it shows well through the bright background and its easy readable. Although the photo is grainy and not very focused it was the best photo to use because of what is happening in the image it connotes love and romance which is a key theme in the film, which contrasts with the black and white.
