Drama Movies

• Some dramas may have peaceful backgrounds such as “the fault in our stars” and “boyhood”

• Drama movie front covers can sometimes give away what the story may be based on.

• “the fault in our stars” shows a girl lying next to a boy with a tube connected to her nose, this could link with the title and this only gave away our thought.

How are posters appealing/attractive to the audience?

• The posters are appealing and attractive because they are made to attract the audiences attention by not giving them too much information about the film. This is what creates enigma and the audience can predict from the Mise-en-scene what might happen and if that character is a victim or a villain.

Does the appeal/attraction differ than that of the poster?

The attraction of the poster is made to reach a wider audience (mass audience) meaning that the movie can be spread and many people can watch it if the poster is published within the public sector.

What are the conventions?

Page 11: Assignment 8  film poster research noor

Main Image• The main image is made to depict the main characters/character

of the movie and gives us an idea of whether this character is the villain or the victim. The main image also consists of MES portraying the atmosphere they are living in. for instance “Insidious” has a dull background whereas “Boyhood” has the idea of green (nature) implying hope.

Actor names• The actors’ names are very important to be shown on the film poster

because this allows their popularity to increase which credits their hard work.

the poster. These credit the ones who have contributed towards the film.• Titles are usually found on the top of the poster it could even be a quote from the

movie.

What are the three most prioritised features?

The three main prioritised features are:• Name of the actors• The titles of the film• Credits to companies

• This is because the audience may wonder who the actor is and for instance some young teens like to keep up with the celebrities and this gives the celebrity an increase in their popularity.

Summarise how your film posters reinforce conventions

• My film posters reinforce conventions because of the use of the MES it kid of gives away the idea of who the victim/villain is and what the story may be based on. This is what supports the use of enigmas and draws the audience into wanting to watch the film.

• The font of the poster will also match the genre it is categorized as for example if it is a horror movie the text will probably have some blood splattered on it.
