My coursework

I hav chosen to do a film poster because I am passionate about films.
Action:

In these posters they have a team which shows that they have to a lot of action and they work well together. It also gives a sense of unity to the film which the audience will like because then they can relate to one of the characters in the film because there is more then one personality present. The audience to this film will be mainly men of all ages because they have all ages present in the film. Also they will be getting a group of friends attending because they want to share the good film with friends and it also shows through the poster that is is a group film, for example of this is 'The Avengers'. Everyone likes the film and you go with your friends to watch it and enjoy your favourite character. But there are also posters that show a strong character dominating the film and taking control of the story line. Behind this strong man is the rest of the story to show the audience what type of film is it, such as a si-fi film or a film set aboard.

Comedy:

 In these posters they are simple so that makes it funny. They can attract any audience because the actors are middle aged so getting that audience interested in the film but then it will get the younger audience because the actual film is called 'The Hangover' which is would young adults are in to. This image is good because it gets peoples attention because they want to know what happened to the men in the picture because one is holding a baby, one has lost a tooth. The caption/ slogan is saying that this all happened in Vegas which is funny because of the saying ' what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'. In the other poster there is a simple picture which shows that this person is laid back and doesn't care about the outcome of his actions. This gives the audience a light heart feel and it would be a nice fun to watch just for a nice day out with the family.






Family:

In these posters they have a strong picture that tells the audience the story, like they have a happy family that go on an adventure or that they have a new member joining an unusual family and their struggles of getting used to each other. This is effective because then they will get a a huge range of audience because then they can relate to the story. These images are effective because they are simple and only give little bits away to the audience about the story, it is the kind of film where you see the poster an you can probably tell what the story is going to be because it is a simple light hearted story but you watch it because of that fact. Also in these kinds of films they are good because even the actors in the film have a relaxed attitude in the film which makes it easy and simple.
 












Horror:
In these posters they have a disturbing image to shock the audience into looking at the poster. The images are dark and messy to show what the film will be like. The audience to these films are mainly young adult who watch them to get a thrill out of being scared. The films always have a young woman who is the victim of the monster, serial killer etc, this shows that maybe they makers of these films are aiming the film at males because they like that damsel in distress vibe. The person that is going around killing people may not be shown (face wise, they might wear a mask) so in the poster they are hidden from the audience making them, in a way a victim to this thing killing people. The faces that the actors are making show that they are scared an the audience adopt that feeling.















Romance:

In these poster they mainly have a couple all cuddled up together to show their relationship. They are mainly aimed at woman so the woman will be in front to make it more relatable. The poster will be bright and the use of colours will be light to make the feeling of the film lighter. The actors will smiling to show that they are happy or were happy together.
