Task 4

 Posters

Almost every romantic comedies poster has a white background, and the two main characters are doing a pose. I think these posters are very simple and plain, but its quite effective, and it gets the point across. I have chosen to look at these posters because I am thinking of using them as a reference for my own poster for my trailer. In the posters all the characters are making an expression that I think describes there personality's in the movie or how they react to the main part of the plot in the movie. Also there is a lot of light on the characters and the poster it self is looks quite bright and cheerful, compared to horror movie posters.

 

Most horror film posters have a black or a blood red background, because it shows that the film is scary or gorey. Horror films are total oposite to a romantic comedy films. Even there posters are totaly opposite because horror posters usually have a black background to show that the movie is dark, sinister, and scary. But romantic comedy films are happy and funny so the posters are more bright and positive.

Adventure movie posters have bold and saturated colours, and look very epic. In all the posters, they have captured the most epic moment in the movie, to draw peoples attention and make them want to watch the film. Also in most of the posters, the lighting is coming from behind the characters, which gives some of them a silhouette effect.

Movie posters with out characters/people are rarely used, it took me a while to find movie posters that don't include characters. I found posters with out people more interesting because they make you think about them. For example when I first saw the poster for super man it made me think about the glasses and how it is linked to the movie. When superman disguises him self he wears glasses, so when I saw the poster it drew my attention and made me think about the movie. I think the poster is simple but effective. I was thinking of making my movie poster like this.

I think that animation posters are very bright and colorful. The colours are also very bold and strong, and there isn't much desaturated colours in the posters. Also the art styles are very similar and they have a smooth round feel to them. Also the characters all look happy, and there is no character that looks upset or sad.

 
I like the layout of the poster because the title, colour, and image all work together to make the poster look great. I also think that all the colours complement each other. I like this poster because it shows the beauty of space and it also shows the earth below which also looks like the sea. I like the lighting because it shows he's moving forward and isn't looking back. I also think the text goes well with the image because the colour and style doesn't take over the poster, it complements the poster itself making it look even better.

The image on the right is a scale of diffrent paper sizes you can get. But most posters sizes are about A3 -A0
