POSTER IDEAS AND PLANNING 2

Here is another poster idea. Keeping in mind that my film is a very honest, and at times, sad look at one woman's struggle to find love I realised that my poster should reflect some of this emotion; above this. I also had to keep in mind what Michael Leedham said about my first poster idea.
So I took another approach when making my poster- I derived it of colour making the main image of the actress black and white. The only colour is the word '(mis)' which has disappointing connotations- the fact that this is the only word in colour draws an audiences attention to this word and highlights the negative tone to the film.

I made the background of the poster slighly grey scale so it wasn't just plain white; this affect evoked the sadness which I wanted to convey.

The reflective effect on the name, 'Tina Yeomans' has many connotations. It links to an scene in my film where Tina talks of how sometimes she feels so lonely that it is as if she is looking in at herself, and the reflection of her name connects with this idea.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

I showed this to a number of friends and to my Media teacher and they all agreed that the actualy photo was powerful and the use of colour was well thought out, however there was no indication in the poster that the film was based around Internet dating websites. They argued that perhaps people would not connect the title of the film with the famous dating website.

With this, I decided that I needed to make my poster more explicit so that an audience would straight away be able to connect the poster with dating wesbites and know what the film would be about.
