Research and Planning: Mock Poster




Within my group; Deema and I put our poster prototype ideas together and came up with our mock poster, the images are still taken from the internet, but this is the basis of what our poster will look like when we have the real production images of the characters.






<--- this is the first poster that was deconstructed, the use of the tube station and platform is affective to connect to the use of the tube in our short film. Once showing it to our class and teacher at school we got lots of feedback. The use of the title being in the tube sign lets it stand out. The only problem that was brought up was the tag line 'life never waits' is seen almost like the title which could be confusing to an audience as to what the title may be.



The billing block was also found on the internet, the use of the layout and postioning portrays a real film poster along with the certificate of the film.














---> this is the second mock poster, this is the same image but we put the actual picture in black and white, with a sepia style sky, but kept the tube sign and title in colour to make it stand out on the page to ensure that it is the actual title and should not be mistaken with the tag line.








When showing it to Michael Leedham a 2D designer he commented that spacing was good and the image was exciting and attractive. He gave constructive critisim such as we needed a certification and our tagline should stand out more. Apart from we didn't want it to stand out too much as it could easily be confused with the title.
He said we should add a quote from a critic or magazine to fit more into the conventions of a real media model.
