Film Poster Draft

 I have loosely based it on the poster for This is England as seen below:

My poster will be portrait rather than landscape and will feature at bus stops and in the cinema light boxes like so:

Here is my draft of the poster:

The bottom half is the characters in front of a brick wall, above this, I am going to have a residential area similar to the one below:

I will attempt to replicate this sort of photo, possibly by taking a photo from the school.

The idea is that the characters are 'below working class' and the wall symbolises the idea that they are obstructions in society.

Reflective Comment:

This post could be made to be more interactive by turning it into a presentation. This could be completed at a later stage, but the post contains information and a plan for the ancillary task of the poster.

Ancillary Tasks - Textual Analysis of Posters

I will be gaining an inspiration for my ancillary tasks from previous films, below are some examples of film posters.

Submarine

This poster for the independent film contains the colours black, yellow, blue, red and white. The main focus is the main character who is photographed with a close up and a blue filter is given over half of the  poster. This is a very basic poster with a large title at the top and small credit-like text at the bottom.

This Is England

This is another independent film with a long shot of the main cast, it contains relevant colours to the theme of the film with red, white and blue text. However, the text in white below 'A film by Shane Meadows' is very hard to read, in my poster I will ensure that all text is clearly visible. The purpose is to display the characters within the film; there is a suggestion of gang culture and 'skinhead' culture with the Doc Marten boots, chequered shirts and braces along with the shaved head.
In the background of this poster, there is a metal wall and two blocks of flats; this displays a sense of 'rough' and 'urban' setting, where the working class live as well as the unemployed, with more chance of violence and crime.
The font of 'This is England' is bold and represents strength; the colours symbolises pride and the slight fade allows it to fit in with tatty surroundings and create some authenticity.

Previous A2 Media Teaser Poster

This poster is from a former student who also did a teaser trailer. This is a basic concept to a poster and is really 'teasing' the film to the audience. The poster contains conventional aspects with a large title, the Director's name, a rating and also, as seen in modern films, a hashtag for Twitter.
