Yr10 media - film poster analysis

Movie posters are designed to attract and persuade potential audiences to purchase a ticket to the cinema to watch the film.

Task 1:
Work in pairs/threes and analyse the film poster you have been given using the question sheets. Create a presentation using Powerpoint or Prezi, and be prepared to share your ideas with the class. The best work will be displayed on this blog.

Questions:

• Does it contain standard poster features (picture, tagline, credit block, use of star names, use of star, release date, producer/director, enigma)?
• What are the main colours used? What do they connote?
• What symbols are used? Does the audience need foreknowledge to decode them?
• What are the main figures / objects / background? Are they represented photographically, graphically, or illustratively?
• Are the messages primarily visual, verbal, or both?
• Who is the intended audience?
• What genre conventions are there?
• Is a star used as a USP?
• Are 'expert witnesses' quoted?
• What pleasures (gratifications) are promised?
• How is attention gained (humour, shock, surprise, familiar face)?
• How does the tagline work (humour, pun, alliteration)?
• Is it a good poster?
• Does it communicate effectively with the audience?
• Are there any alternative readings which might harm the marketing message?
• Is it offensive?

Task 2:
Find your own film poster and use the questions above to analyse it. Produce a written piece of analysis, including a copy of the picture, in Word. Email your work to Miss Ghost.

Task 3:
Now look at your own poster designs. Swap with a peer and analyse each other's designs using the above questions - write your findings in your class book. Produce two constructive pieces of feedback for your peer to help them improve their work.

Task 4:
Continue working on and improving your film poster flat plan designs. Check with Miss Ghost if you're ready to begin designing your poster on the computer.
