Ancillary task 2
Image:
With my final image for my Film poster; I have made it look as if it is a Daguerreotype image ( this means that it was printed onto a silver plate, and so therefore there was no negative image produced). This style for me was perfect; as it helped to link with the demon possession, due to the fact that demons like to leave (generally) no evidence behind, therefore they will not allow images to be taken of them (including negative images). Also the aged look of the image; helps to show that this is a recurring story (that’s it’s happened before) and creates a link with the past.
With this type of poster I decided that it would look better if the eyes of the character were scratched out (similar to ‘The Woman in Black’s poster); this made the poster seem more dramatic, and helps to show the genre of the film better. This then could be linked to the pentagram seen in the lower left hand corner; as this also gives an indication to what the film is based on, and what will happen to the characters.
With the concepts of the magazine; there is one thing that I have not done. I have not put the actor’s names on the poster; as generally they are not placed: this is sometimes not the case if you are using a famous character, but as ours are not famous (and are unknown) so they don’t have to be put on the cover.
In my final product I also decided to add in a web based media link: to my paper based media. This was done by adding in a QR-Code: this links the poster to a version of my trailer that’s on YouTube; this will then allow the audience, to scan the barcode in and remotely access it. This is a new concept that is slowly becoming more popular, and this could be a new way of advertising the film.
Over all I am very happy with the final image; I did find this task harder than the Magazine Cover, as here I relied on just one image. It was hard to find an old fashioned style that allowed the font to be in white, as with some it was hard to see. But I do really like the final effect as it looks clean and crisp; I like that it contrasts with the idea of having it in the old type style: compared to the new style of the Magazine Cover.
