Poster

My finished poster. But first...

I don’t know what to do for my poster! What photo should I use?! What should I say on it!? Haha. I looked at some other posters and found that the pictures were simple, sometimes had a quote or a line that is intriguing about the story line. They also always have that bit of writing down the bottom which says who is in the movie, who produced it, what the movie is and all of that technical stuff. I remember talking about this in class ages ago and we were saying how the font is always really small because no one ever really reads it. I thought that this would be really cool if I had that bit of writing down the bottom of my poster! So I looked at a poster and wrote down everything that I wanted in my poster. I had to make up some of the production companies and such. For the company name, I thought that it would look weird if it was just my name so I wrote my name backwards. It looks pretty cool and could be a really company! (AHSILA) For the ‘In association with…’ I made up another name. I used my middle name ’Rochelle’ but mixed up the letters a bit so no one would actually know what it means (ELLECH). For the production company, I used a different name also. I was just going through some words in my head and randomly came up with LANUM. My favourite name is Ellech because it just looks pretty cool! When I was typing it out, the macs did not have the font that wanted to use (Agency FB) which looks very similar to what the poster use. They always seem to have the same font and it is always squishy and small. I couldn’t find that so I just used the Blair font that I used for the rest of my film. Also, in the posters the words are always in capitals so naturally, mine were in capitals too.

I said that the film was my ME! And the actors and actresses were Sarah, Meghna and Izzy. I also put my mum in there because she helped me along the way too. In my movie, the singing was actually done my Sarah so I put her name in for music. I said that it was edited, produced and written and directed by Alisha Seeto J!

For my picture, I chose a character that I thought was pretty cool and was more interesting than my other character. I thought that this picture is interesting compared to some of the other pictures that I could have used. Also, the film is called ‘A Fat Hungry Fish’ so I thought it was only natural that the poster picture was of a fat fish that is actually in the movie. The fish is not seen until halfway through the film which is also good because people will be wanted to see the fish, but they will have to wait and watch it until they can see it again! So the poster was pretty easy because all I had to do was crop the picture of the fish and then add the title ‘A Fat Hungry Fish’ up the top with the font that I used for the rest of the video and website and then added the bit of writing down the bottom. And then… DONE! I actually found the poster really fun because it looked really professional and cool when it was finished! Here are some of the posters that I looked at for advice -
