Film Poster Production Process


Transcript if not able to view - The Production of my film poster If you have been reading this blog, they you would have known that this picture was part my second shoot, the action shoot In terms of the mise en scene, the gun was painted black and the whole costume of the character was made to be of a police detective, here you can see a very early film poster draft which had my ideas on it, a different idea from the sketches I made In order for me to make this image right here, I needed to crop the photograph and enlarge it to the size of a normal, average film poster And here you would see various, very different ways I wanted the poster to look like in terms of text and the spacing of each text within the poster Here we have the main tagline which is think outside the law which was made in different fonts, sizes and colour but I ultimately used the one with a single phrase, sentence so it would be the only line standing out as it is the only line standing out in this particular poster Here is just some more tinkering about with the image and what text I wanted to put on the poster The credits were originally white coloured in a black background but I found a way to invert the whole text back into black as my background is white. Here I look closer towards the image to see if there is any place I need to either erase or edit to make it look more like an actual film poster with no errors in the image or anything else Here is my second draft of my film poster, the top half of the image is in black and white while the bottom half is in its natural colour, also here are the credits which have been placed nicely and neatly so that it fits/blends in with film poster. The production company and coming soon are added to make it look realistic. My film title felt big and separated which was not in a single line as the other posters that my group has made while filling the screen, I decided to change the scale in order for it to match the poster products of my group. The poster now looks clearer, although simple it is effective as the iconography such as a gun and attire representing high stature and so the empowerment of an institution such as the police. The tagline think outside the law would make you think that it is about crime and that the character may have gone rogue as it is aligned with him Other edges would be smoothened out, blended out to make it more like was meant to be in this white background to appeal to the audience as an authentic film poster.
