George Feast Diary logs Week 14At the start of this week I outlined the main conventions of a film poster. This was where I highlighted that short taglines; ratings/comments; focus on protagonists; name of director and a 3 way colour scheme are main features of this product. The task was influential in detailing me in what aspects I need to include in my poster so it is successful. For this specific challenge I used the poster of Zero Dark Thirty as a basis. Following on from the convention task I was able to analyse several posters in their use of representation, conventions, colour schemes and overall aesthetics. For this task I proceeded to analyse the film posters of Sin City, 300 Rise of an empire and Clover field. The poster of Sin City was a neo-noir depiction of a graphic novel. This was encapsulated well within the poster with its action oriented aesthetic and three way colour scheme.

300 Rise of Empire was a stylistic depiction of Spartan soldiers charging. Analysing this poster taught me that a highly edited poster can have a cinematic effect when combined with bold font and a colour scheme.

The Clover field advertisement utilises a bold leading tagline. This taught me that an intriguing statement will have a positive impact to my audience and cause more exposure.
