FILM POSTER

This is a sketch of my film poster, i am missing a critic's slogan but i shall create one. The prisoner is on the side of the screen showing that she is not the main attention here, followed by Daniel the detective looking directly at the viewers he is the one solving the mystery. I hope you like it so far.

I planned to make my film poster different to my magazine article, apart from the fact that magazines and posters are a different form of media. i wanted to portray a range of skill, i used a variety of effects for the title 'Dark Days'. The grey, metallic font follows the prison theme of entrapment and darkness, this is further shown through the name of my film 'Dark'. 

The prison gates are a peek preview of the events that are going to take place within my film. I chose this background above a simple coloured background as it is visually more appealing and fits with the mis en scene included in my trailer. It also appeals to my target audience of young adults aged between as the image shows mystery and crime, something every young person, regardless of gender is fascinated in. 

I have included a critic from The Guardian newspaper as it is a profound article that reviews news well and underlines every detail of every case it looks at. For me, to quote an opinion of my film from this newspaper makes my film seem news worthy and entertainment worthy. This also helps with the advertising of my film as it generates a wider audience; some people might hear of my film through the poster, others through The Guardian- a daily newspaper they read. My primary audience are those that are of a working class, the paper helps to build a mass audience including middle class members of society. This occurs when they read there daily paper and discover 'DARK DAYS'- my film. They trust the information the Guardian provides, so therefore they will believe the quote ' Best movie of the year', making it a up most priority for my secondary audience to watch it. 

Summer is a time of vacation and relaxation for most, this means a time for a trip to the cinema! i have decided to release my film in this season mainly because my target audience may work or study at a high level and need a break
