Ancillary Task

For one of my ancillary tasks then it is to produce a poster for my film trailer, i have been looking at other posters for inspiration and this one i think is the most inspiration i have got:

I really like the inspiration of this poster, it shows they are totally different people from having different halves of the pictures colors, it also shows they are obviously shocked and in the wrong bodies. In my poster i wish to show how different the two girls are so you can see that they are so different.

The other poster i like which has inspired me is this one:

With the type of film i am going to do for my trailer it is about opposites switching bodies, both of these posters show the difference, with one side showing what one is like, in this poster it shows the man is unlucky under the umbrella in the rain and the girl is clearly lucky with sun shining, however they have pictures it so it shows they are in the same street, just to show how different they are.


Audience feedback 

I decided to show both of these posters to my target audience, whom i created a facebook group for so i could post on it and get the opinions of them at any time. As i posted both of these posters, i asked them which one they felt was most effective and which they felt would suit my trailer. I decided to pick out two responses from the page, one from a girl and one from a boy, as my film is targeted to both genres.
The responses i got were:

Lucy Williams - I feel that having the poster have both characters standing next to each other is a good idea, with different backgrounds would make it show more how different the two characters are. I think you need to show clearly who is the bully and who isn't by the poster, so people grasp the plot of the film easily through your poster, it could reflect by people wanting to see the film more if they can see what it is going to be like.

Tom Brock - Using the two characters being back to back to each other could create more meaning to the poster, as it shows that they are different and that the film is going to reflect on two different peoples lives. I also feel that it needs to clearly show who is what character, you need to show this to create a good poster that shows people what they are going to be watching.



Therefore my idea for my poster is to have the two girls back to back, one with curly hair and one with straight, getting as many opposites in the photo to make the point as i can.
