Ancillary Task - Poster

This is a draft of our short film poster. unfortunetly its not so clear, but our main idea was to illustrate an obvious idea of split personality by the use of an image. The left hand side of the image shows the dreamy side of Maggie whereas the right hand side shows her real look. this double image effect was used to help us keep in coherent style of split screening. The use of bubble writing font was to emphasise on Maggie's features, as you can see we used thinner , bold writing for Danny. Our slogan which is shown below the film date release is 'The dream of a lifetime..' the use of elipsis gets the audience to assume what will happen. Just under the slogan is the website which is full of information of the film i.e its release, audience feedback and some stills taken from the film. For the poster to be very conventional we had to follow some rules. We placed a large title which attracts the eye, bold and funky colors which stand out from the background, and an intriguing picture which would attract viewers to
the film. the use of split picturing is very interesting as it foreshadows an idea of split personality in our film. We also used a persuasive slogan which might persuade the viewers to go and see the film. We used the main character's name for promotion, and the certification will help ensure that the right type of people
are watching the film.
We tries using the rule of thirds to help format our work. This rule was very useful as it helped us place the image and title in a very coherent way.
