Poster planning

Poster planning 

From analysing existing film posters i have come to the conclusion of what we need to use in ours to make it the most eye catching to the audience. As a poster is the main form of merchandise and can also be bought off the internet after film release by fans. some posters are that good that their still widely recognised after film release such as Alfred Hitchcock's psycho, the black and white woman in the film screaming is used and everyone knows who she is even though the film was released years ago the poster is still popular. This is just one of the reasons why we need a unique looking poster to keep the legacy of our film if it becomes famous and watched by millions in years to come.

So for our own poster we've decided to use photoshop and illustrator so that we get a professional look for our poster and we can make it into our unique style like the hit film Sin City does with their colour scheme of black, white and red. As a group we've made a basic plan to use dark colours mainly black with hints of white because these two colours contrast so well, we've also decided to have a hint of red in their to symbolise danger and blood we are doing this because of our research into theories of representations in signs. To add to this we are going to use the main characters pictures like Gangster Squad did with Emma stone on the front, were going to edit the colours though on the characters to make it match our style we are going for. I think we want to keep our poster simple and not overload it with information so were just going to have the title on there and the release date to keep up with the mysterious theme. We also may add the actors and actresses names but not so sure yet we need to see how it will look before we do that as were aiming for simplicity.
