Activity 8: Electronic evaluation of the film poster

I have given a lot of thought to the film I was supposed to create a poster for. So, I imagined the plot to be something like this: 'A group of the worst students of an university decide to kill all their smart colleagues, one by one.' My idea for the poster was originally conceived in school, in the common room when, in order to surprise a colleague, one of the students put a hand over her mouth and one over her eyes. Then, I remembered that I had a similar photo in my computer, taken by me last summer, back in Romania. I have therefore drew the plan of the poster on my way home that day and I stuck to it without making any major changes, but further developing that same idea. I have decided to change the slogan, to make it a bit more explicit as well as the font of the title: instead of the 'nice and calm' font I have drawn, I chose to use something more appropriate for a thriller. The idea of the film companies logos came at last, after seeing that most film posters have them. Also, all throughout the process of editing it I have observed the film posters that were really everywhere I looked: on the buses, phone booths and billboards, and kept making small changes to the size and position of the texts I used in order for it to look as real and professional as possible. Finally, I have learned that in order to create a good media production I needed to plan it thoroughly at first.
