Film Poster

After very little deliberation I decided it was about time for me to make our film poster. The idea for the poster was in my mind from the offset all that was required was for me to do was a short health and safety sheet and to try my hand at sweet talking and charming the IT department in my college to see if I could get hold of any old keyboards that were no longer in use.

After getting hold of the keyboards me and Duce a colleague of mine began the smashing them up for the keys for my poster idea. We then we positioned them to a table top and with a very bad camera took some grimy looking photos. It was as we were sifting through the keys and organising them into piles according to what character they were that we realised we were short a few letters.

This is how the original photos looked.





I had to edit in the missing keys in on photoshop, I also added a feather effect, a grimy overly and added some basic film poster necessities leaving me with the final piece.

Photo-shoot, Health & safety

Using the "redheads"

• The redhead lamps are extremely fragile, so when transporting them use the bag and padding. Be cautious when you're near them, 2 people should carry them.
• The lamps also become very hot after extended periods of use, so take care and make sure they are safe to carry before attempting to move them.
• Do not cover them with anything.
• Do not look directly into the lights when they are turned on.
• The bulbs are also very expensive and break very easily, extreme care should be taken at all times.
• When you're using the lamps, make sure the lead connecting the lights to the socket is taped down.

The Shark Model

The Shark Model

The shark Model consists of three main sections, the bite, the body and the tail.

The bite section of the narrative theory describes the incident that initialises the story this has to be very shocking if it is to fit in the shark Model narrative theory.

The body section is the main plot in the film and the body of the film.

The tail section of the narrative theory, is the ending of a film.

Poster Analysis - Attack of the 50ft Women

Poster analysis

Who is the film about?

I think the film is about a 50 ft woman, and other people in her life.

Where is it set?

By what is seen in the poster I would say that the film is set in America, in a largely built up city area. Reasons for this are, the fact that there is an American style highway, and American police cars, located underneath the raised road near the woman’s right leg.

When is it set?

The film may be set in the late 1950’s, which is apparent by the dress sense and the style of hair of the women in the poster, as well as the police car design and the font and lettering style.
