Film poster planning

When we did our photoshoot, our photos were inspired by the Bridget Jones film posters.


As I have previously said, we chose this film poster as our inspiration because in the film the female protagonist has two romantic interests, similarly to Paul in our film.

My poster is going to be in a landscape format featuring a close-up shot of Paul, Lucy and Stella. The title of my film will be shown across the top in a similar style font to the Beatles logo so that the Beatles theme of the film is clearly conveyed. The title will be in mostly black to match Paul's suit but the word love will be written in red because that will symbolise the romance genre of the film. Paul will be in the centre of the poster conveying he is the protagonist of the film and the way Lucy and Stella face Paul and stand close to him will convey the relationship between the two girls and Paul. The names of the three characters on the poster will be shown at the bottom in black writing and in a sans serif font. Below the title, the film's slogan will be shown in a light pink font so it contrasts against the coral pink background as well as conveying the romance genre. As my film poster would be released before the film is, my poster will include the film's release date in a bold, black font so it stands out and it will also be written in The Beatles font. Information which is conventionally shown on all film posters such as details about the film's production (in a black, tall and thin font), the film's Facebook, the BBFC rating and the film's production company's logo will be at the bottom of the poster underneath the actresses as well as who directed and edited the film. I will also feature the Facebook logo and the name of the Facebook fan page for the film. The Facebook fan page will be shown to encourage the audience to look on these websites and learn more about the film so they will be interested in seeing it. By 'liking' the Facebook page, this would also raise awareness of the film to even more people.
