For one of my ancillary tasks I have chosen to make a poster for my film that will express the nature of the film without giving away too much detail. I don't have any knowledge about posters so I decided to research about some of the 'great movie posters'.
Two posters stood out particularly for what I want to achieve in my poster, here are the examples:
The 'Casino Royale' poster uses various shadows and different focuses to help make specific images of this poster stand out. For example the title of the film along with his face half shadowed which could be a connotation for having a good side but also a evil side to him.
This poster for the 2nd Matrix film film in the trilogy focuses on being very simplistic featuring mainly only black and white shades on the foreground and background. This not only helps the text stand out because of the green glow around the edges symbolising the Matrix code, but also the character 'Neo' can stand out a lot more who is very recognisable for being this character.
When making my poster I will use techniques that they have used to make a great poster, and one thing I have learned is to attempt to include semiotics with several connotations with a proffered meaning.
