poster work

Well done, some really impressive first drafts.  Really like some of the titles as well.  Personally, i think landscaping is far less of a challenge to Portrait.  Remember, the poster task is a very good example of the 80/20 rule.  you can get it 80% Ok relatively quickly, but the final 20% for perfection will take alot of time!

FEEDBACK ON POSTER RESEARCH AND INITIAL DRAFT

The majority of you have uploaded your own poster research around the 5 themes and some of you have also uploaded your poster ideas.  I will comment on these over the next couple of days.  Well done if you made the deadline - more congestion and back log for those of you who are behind.

For the first poster deadline - this Friday?

1. Complete your textual analysis of 8 posters (for groups as a whole) - remember use the conventions to consider what the poster tells you about Narrative, Genre, Audience and Representation.  Structure annotations clearly.  

Try to refer to British, low budget, independent films of a similar genre - so those of you with a Christmas theme should be looking at how this is achieved.


2. Your individual ideas - post to the blog your initial drafts for the poster.  Comment on these, again around what you are telling your audience about Narrative, Genre, Representation and who the Audience is.

3. Use the poster below as a checklist to help you in your design

British Independent films - look at the posters that accompany these films.
