Hi everyone! Sick of me yet? I am back with another posting for this week. This post will be on thinking about the print component of our project.
On Monday, we had a lesson on the print component of the portfolio project and I learned a lot about the key art poster. Here are some notes I gathered from the lesson:
Film Promo- Poster
Choices dictated by the distribution plan
Main key art for marketing
Theatrical release
title
key art
production credits
tagline
Streaming release
multiple thumbnails w/key art
title
few production credits
Following this lesson, I was excited to get started on the poster. Riley and I won't start working on it until week seven of the project, so for now we are just doing research and brainstorming. Since we're planning a streaming release rather than a theatrical one, I looked at thumbnails from a Netflix original movie, The Adam Project.
I knew that when you see small pictures representing shows or movies on streaming platforms, they don't always just use the main poster image. Sometimes they use a picture from an actual scene in the show or movie. For example, the thumbnails from scenes in The Adam Project. I think these pictures really capture the essence of the movie and make people want to watch it.
This is the poster for the show Manifest. It has a tagline, title, and where you can watch it. I like how these posters focus more on the main picture than the title. Now we just need to pick the right picture to use for our poster.
Bye for now!
