Final Film Poster

This is our final promotional film poster.

I also printed this poster of in real life to envision what it would look like on a wall in reality. I didn't have access to any A2 paper, which is what film posters would usually be printed on, so we had to make do with A3. But, we think it still looked really legitimate and authentic, as well as felt proud of our product (although we know it would have looked a lot better at an A2 scale).

Here is my evaluation notes of the promotional poster product:

Overall, I feel that by creating this promotional poster, it would attract lots of potential viewers to our film and it would definitely benefit our films popularity and knowing amongst members of the public. Film companies and directors create these promotional posters to get their new films out in the world and have its name recognized, rather than letting it be released without anyone having prior knowledge of its existence. It's kind of like having a prior warning or announcement for the films release basically.

Also, if film posters and other similar advertisements didn't exist, people would find it extremely hard to have motivation or desire to go see films in cinemas or buy them on DVD or digital copy etc, as they would have no prior knowledge on what style or ideas are within the film at all, thus making it impossible to predict what the film will be about in any other way other than going straight to watch it. This would also cause quite a big risk review wise, as if people didn't know what it was about, made effort and paid to go see it, then hated it, they would display this dislike. This could be avoided by giving them a prior advertisement so they would know before whether they would like the film or not.

I think what I created was quite successful and looks very realistic as a social realism based poster. I think it would definitely boost the promotion of the film and give a very clear idea about the themes and styles in film, as we can clearly see from the poster that the film is set in quite grungy and negative tone. It's also, thanks to the bold lettering and colour contrasts between the text and image, stands out very bold and is easily noticeable  catching lots of eye attention. I'm quite proud of this piece.
