PLANNING YOUR OWN PRINT PRODUCT: FILM POSTER

In order to assess how well you have understood the concept of genre and audience appeal in print media, you are going to be designing and producing your own film poster for a genre of your choice. You will be assessed on two areas:

1. How well you communicate the genre through your choice of images (inc camera shots and angles), fonts, colours and genre signifiers
2. How well you appeal to a specific targeted audience

Before designing your media text you need to answer the following questions:
1. What are the purpose of film posters?
2. What makes an effective film poster?

Bearing those points in mind, you should now start planning your text, answer the following questions to help you with your planning:

1. What genre is your film poster going to be advertising?
2. What is the name of the film?
3. What age certificate is it?
4. Who is starring in the film?
5. What films is your film similar to?
6. Who are the target audience (be as specific as possible)?
7. What gratifications will the film offer the audience (why would the audience enjoy watching it?)
8. What three main colours are you going to use on the poster? Why?
9. What type of fonts are you going to use? Why?
10.How are you going to grab people’s attention through your design?
