Flat Plans

Film Poster: I have created the following poster for my film, I have named the film 'flush', a hustler is someone who makes money in an un-sporting way. This is a big feature in my film and therefore I feel as though it is an ideal name for my film. I have positioned the film title above the main image on the poster as I feel that this will be easy enough to recognise, without the image not being able to stand out effectively. I am going to choose a bold font to use for my title, this is because I want the title to stand out, but I want to make sure that the font is sensible and gives of a serious impression also.

The genre of the film is indicated by the fact the scenery in the picture is set at night, with a mysterious car flashing it's lights and the cameras angle. The cars main beams are shining towards the camera, I have shown this by using bright and bold colours that stand out on the poster. I have decided to pay attention to detail and look closely at making the picture as realistic as I possibly can, I have put in the line off the rear window heating strips as an element of realism and detail.

The tree in the picture is used to give the impression that the scenario which the picture is from is set in a place which is not very open and is fairly enclosed, adding to the horror genre which is being set.

I have decided that I would like to include a slogan in my film poster, this will be in a bold font and will be positioned beneath the main image. It is important that the slogan attracts the audiences attention effectively and therefore helps to promote the film by doing this. The slogan that I choose to use cannot be too long and difficult to understand but it should make the audience think and get them wanting to watch the film. A short and clever slogan should effectively attract the attention of the audience.

The release date for the film is essential in a film poster, this can be in either numerical form or in words, for example; 'coming soon' or 'in cinemas 24/09/1998', this should not be too large in comparison to the picture but it should be a reasonable size within the poster and therefore stand out to the reader.

An institutional logo should be included within the poster, this indicates who is responsible fore producing the film and can influence whether or not the audience wish this film, the logo should be created so that it stands out to the viewer but it shouldn't be placed too big on the poster as there are more important aspects of the poster to occupy the larger areas of the poster.
