Research: On our poster step 1

The poster of a movie is an important extension of a film. The layout of the poster is very similar to our ideas of our film poster. We are using the same layout of the poster; with chaos in the background and our main actor in the front walking away from the disaster. To make it look creative and add suspense, as well as humour, we’re going to make our actor dressed as a teacher, underneath his blazers will be a strap of grenades and he will be walking away from a war scene. Also, to add humour, we are going to have a little girl standing the in the background, in the middle of the mess staring out of nowhere, lost and confused like a zombie.   

What makes this poster especially out of the ordinary and striking is the use of the dark, dull and mood-dropping colours which reflects the theme of the film. The image in the background, especially, is what makes the poster stand out and attention grabbing; there are pictures of broken buildings, car tipped over and buildings covered with large sheets. This all adds to effect of making the poster look surreal. The image of the man by himself, above all, adds to my fascination, and the description which reads ‘the last man on earth is not alone’ makes me as an audience feel anxious to find that what that means, and makes me feel tempted to go and watch the film and find out.
