Poster Update


After looking into posters Sam has found two posters, which will be good to incorporate into our final poster. The first poster is from "Me, Myself and Irene" and the second from "Superbad". By incorporating these two together it could help to come up with affective imagery.



The poster above shall be considered carefully whilst we decide an image to place over the template I created. As you can see the image which we found would be very suitable for our film. The image as you can see is separated and we thought that we could use this idea and have our characters face before and after he turns into a zombie. This would be affective and helps to portray a good image of our film; therefore we will look to incorporate something like this.  Furthermore the use of blue text contrasts to the white background making the text more clearer and the writing fits in with the overall image of the character - 'wacky; different' because its different sized and also different layout and because of this we will need to think carefully about the font we do choose. In addition they have highlighted 'June 10" which is its release date so it stands out and its easy to read so they can attract their audience and tell them exactly when it shall be released and we have incorporated this in our film with the large red font and this will be used to attract the audience to it so we can directly promote our film. Lastly the white background connotes representations of 'innocence' which the directors may be aiming to portray and also the main character Jim Carrey is placed directly on the front to give the film a unique selling point which can also be used to attract an audience and because Jim Carrey is renowned for comedy films and this again is a unique selling point for their film.

This film poster was chosen simply because it places the two main characters on the front cover, and we hope to do this as well. We are looking to place Luke on the front and hopefully include Luke's wife and maybe Mickey and Dave in the background simply for added affect. By adding the characters any viewers that watch our film will be familiar with the characters. However this poster does use various other features, which makes this poster effective. To begin with the large red title - "Superbad" is placed directly at the front of the poster which almost forces the viewer to know what the name is and almost implant it in their minds, whilst the red connotes 'danger' fighting; blood; love" which they may be trying to represent. Furthermore the facial expressions of the characters are used to represent comical value and this fits in with the overall genre of the film and we need to take this into account when we are adding the images to our poster because it is important we represent the right image and show the viewer exactly the type of film we are producing.
