POSTER IDEAS AND PLANNING 4


Here is another one of my poster ideas. I wanted to keep my poster very simple but I also wanted to make sure people would understand what the film was about. 
I started by taking the computer keys off a keyboard and taking a picture of them. I them added my own letters onto the keys on Photoshop; this allowed me to choose what size and font I wanted as well as the colour. The use of the computer keys also indicates to the viewers that this film is centred around internet dating websites. 
The broken heart with Tina's head in it is very poignant and almost sums up the whole film. The black and white image shows the character drained of colour and connotes sadness and loneliness.
The tag line again is a link to match.com.
The production information and the website adds to the realism of the poster.


AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
When I showed this to my friends and family I had mixed responses. Many of them liked the idea of using the computer keys to spell out the title of the film as it links to it being based on internet dating. However other complained that the letters were too small and that it was barely visible.
Many people liked the heart with Tina's face in too- they said it summed up what the film was about.
However although people liked the separate parts of the poster, many people commented that as a whole it looked almost babyish and simple. They said the composition of the poster wasn't well thought out and it looked more like a magazine front cover as opposed to a film poster.
And so, I decided to make another poster taking all these comments into consideration.
