Poster Analysis

Me and Steph decided to look further into more posters to decide how to portray ours to our audience.

Below is a poster from a film called whiteout. This is similar to our poster idea.

Here, the main aspects of this poster which appeal to the audience is simply the eyes and eyebrows of the woman. The eyes stand out so much evaluate of the way they are a very strong, light blue colour. The eyebrows also add a heavy focus from the audience because of the darkness contrasted with the white skin of the woman. I believe that we should think about including something like this on our poster because of the direct address and the way the poster attracts the audience immediately. Without this instant, eye catching point, the poster could be missed by the audience. This is very important for us to include this on our poster because of the link between audience and film. 

Another similarity to our poster plan would be the situation of the film title. It is towards the lower third of the poster because it would interfere with the photo if it was any higher. We plan to have our film title in the same place because of the way it still stand out, however it does not catch the audiences attention first. 'Reverie' is not a word which many people will know as it is a French word. Therefore, we know that there is no point in keeping the word as the main point of attraction. Instead, we would like to take a good picture which will catch more attention. 

The credit block at the bottom of the poster is something we would also like to include because of the way it informs the audience of other facts of the film. This will be of interest to a small majority of the audience anyway, however as the audience read the title, they may also be encouraged to read on in the credit block.
