Film Posters Transcriptions

Looking into film posters and advertising for films has become intresting as each and every film has a differnt twist and way to grab peoples attention. Most genres use the same bassic ideas like in their film posters they will include blood or a scary image etc using colours like reds and blacks and so on. Where as a romantic comedy would use the traditional colours of reds and pinks. Some posters work well others do not, as displayed bellow there is an uneffective poster.

 
This film poster was designed for the film 'Meet the Fockers', although this has all the basic needs of a film poster such as the main characters in it and an image of the main character it lacks imagination and originality. The plain background isn't very appealing and the simple image doesn't tell you much about the characters and doesn't draw you in to making you want to watch the film. It simply looks like a bunch of normal people who live a normal life. Also the font style was a very basic text which again doesn't draw anyone in. I would change the main image on this poster along with the font style and use brighter colours and relate it more to the story line. An example of an effective film poster is displayed bellow. These images work well together along with the style of righting and colours used. You can tell this film is to do with the main characters on the front of the posters as they are clearly displayed. The images have been photo shopped well and made to look perfect brightening the colour of the peoples eyes which makes it eye catching. The way the text is laid out also worked effectively as it look almost like and equation which again links to the film and its genre. The positioning works well too as the title splits the two people apart helping the genre once again and making the font and images stand out and work well together.
