For my A2 Media Studies, I have to make a film poster for my film Too Close for Comfort. I am doing research into how posters are created by the professionals to five me inspiration and also show me how the professionals make the posters.

1. The lead actor and actresses names are
at the top of the film poster above the
title of the film. The sizeof this text is
slightly smaller than the title which
shows thatthe lead actor and actress
are important to the promotion of the
film trailer. The black colour of the font
makes the text stand out so it is clearer
for the audience to see and with the
font being straight, it shows thatit is a
serious point of the poster. USP of the
film.
The title of the film is the largest
piece of text on the film poster. This
shows thatthe title of the film is
important. The colours of this title is
mainly black however ‘forever’ is in
red. These are typical colours in a
romantic drama film. Itcould
suggestto the audience that the
‘forever’ is the main focus of the
film. The fontlooks rather shaky
which could represent whatis going
to happen in the film.
Below the title of the film, there are
some moreactor’s names. These are
people who are taking partin the film.
This is in a much smaller print than the
title and lead actor and actress of the
film which shows thatthey are not as
important to publicise as the other
types of text. These are in blue and
black which stands out becauseof the
alternating colours between each name.
The main image of the film poster
comprises of the two lead
characters separated by a hat and a
heart. The heart is the main focus of
the poster becauseof its bold red
colouring and the fact that it is the
largest objecton the poster. The
heart shows how the film is about
love which will help the audience
make a decision on whether the film
is for them or not. The heart and the
hat also look like they have paint
that as ‘splat’ around it. This could
show a youth side to the film of play
and high amounts of love.
The production details are at the bottom of the film poster. This is quite small which suggests how
this part of the poster should not be the main focus.
Generally, the film poster is based on a
limited number of colours. These
colours are red, black, blue and
white/cream. The plain background of
the poster ensures that the title and the
main image stand out well to catch the
eye of the audience. The lack of colours
makes the poster look professional.
