Ancillary Research

As well as the film I have to create a film poster and a film magazine review page featuring the film so it is important that I research film posters and reviews. In order to do this I have deconstructed three film posters and three magazine reviews which are below in a Prezi presentation. I have tried to deconstruct posters and reviews of the same genre as they may help me define my own ideas for the ones I will need to create.

From my research I have come across a few key conventions that I want to use in my poster and review.
In my poster I want to:

• Have a simple but engaging image that reveals the genre
• A title that reveals some of the genre and is hopefully funny
• I want to try and use some iconic imagery
• Bold contrasting colours
• Funny tagline
• Production details
• Subversion of some kind
• The release date, preferably at the bottom of the page
• Name of actors

In my film review I want to:

• Create brand imagery for the magazine
• Have a simple and engaging colour scheme
• Write in columns
• Have a clear opinion on the film
• Include a rating system 
• Include a large image from the film
• Funny captioning on the images
• Certificate of the film
• Production details
• Larger quote
• Spoilers/lures
• Website address
• Summary of the film's plot
• Puns to do with the film
