Poster

This is my poster for my film noir. It is clear to see that the poster is linked to the film as the characters appear on both the poster and in the film, this makes it easy for the audience to connect the two media. I chose this photo because it helps to convey the feelings of all the characters. My friend Ewan is in the middle of the two girls because it shows how the girls both have a connection to him. It helps to inform the audience that the plot involves a love story between the three. I believe the outfit of the male is appropriate for the film noir genre but to improve, I would have included a fedora hat. The outfits of the females I feel could be more appropriate but because we had to film after sixth form, it was difficult to bring different outfits.

I used an editing software to put the black and white filter over the image. By doing this, it is more identifiable to the film. I also used the software to blur out the background which creates greater emphasis on the characters and leads to viewer to focus on them.

I included my production logo in the top which also appears at the start of the film. The BBFC rating is in the bottom left and is clear to see, for legal reasons. I included the month of release which is in large font and stands out, so the audience can clearly see when the film is out. The title and tag line are in a different colour to the rest of the poster. This is red, which connotes love and death - both of which are in the film. The title is in the largest font and the work 'unidentified' creates the question of what is being unidentified and builds suspense in the viewer as they want to know what the film is about. The tag line is a rhetorical question which makes the viewer involved in the poster as it uses the word 'you' and makes them think about their own personal experience.

This is the type of place my poster would be shown, as well as in bus shelters, cinemas, billboards on the side of the road and throughout retail parks. These are all places that will reach out to my target audience.
