Flat Plan For Film Poster

 

This was the flat plan that I produced for the film poster. The title of the film is at the top of the poster and it's in red. The reason I chose red was because there is blood involved in my horror trailer and I thought it would stand out on a black background. I put the date February 14th to illustrate the release date. I thought it would look good having the release date underneath the title to add emphasis on the trailer itself. The image that I drew was of Dawn, I made the flat plan after I took test shots for the poster. I chose to go with an image of her holding a chain as the chain was a big focal point in my trailer. The chain links with the narrative as the chain is the reason why the dead has been awakened.  I drew the villain with cuts and blood on her face as this is the mise-en scene we used to create a death look. The blood on her clothes I put on as I saw where the blood went on the clothes after seeing the costumes used for the villain. I took the test shots then I analysed the images so it would make it easier to draw. I have drawn the chain as I thought it would look best to have the chain on the actual poster. I put the tagline at the bottom as it was directly next to the villain which would link and show how the villain is the evil one. I put the credits on the bottom of the poster as this is a typical convention of a movie poster: having the credits at the bottom of the poster. I haven't written out the credits as my group and I are still deciding which roles go to who. I put the 15 BBFC on the poster to show the age range the trailer was suitable for. My target audience was 15-20 year olds so having the 15 certificate on it just reinforced my target audience I wanted to attract to view the trailer. I like the layout of the poster from what I've drawn on the flat plan, its simplistic and all attention goes on the main image and the title of the film. The tagline seems bigger than the title but on the real poster I will make the title bigger as it's conventional of a movie poster to have the title as the biggest text on the poster.
