In our lesson tomorrow we are going to be receiving some professional insight into how we use an Adobe tool called inDesign. inDesign is a professional standard piece of software that can be used to create all sorts of different publications. We have decided to use this software as the examiners request that professional grade software is used at some point in the creations of our coursework project. As what we will be making in our lesson tomorrow will just be a very early 1st draft of what we think we would like our posters to look like, we are not expecting the best quality image, but with the help of our inDesign tutor we can make all of the graphics and text we want to use as perfect as we possibly can.
We found that with the posters we looked at they all had everything that is needed in a film poster with slight changes from poster to poster. We focused on the film poster for 'The Book of Eli'. It helped us understand how much information is really needed on a film poster. We looked in detail at the specific cast/crew members that need to be presented on the poster. This poster also helped us gather an understanding of how a poster should be laid out and how there are many little logos that you would be able to see unless very close to the poster. These small details although quite hard to see, they are still necessary to have on the poster. This research was also very helpful for us as it gave us a strong understanding of what the tag line on a poster is used for and what the tag line should include.
Here are two images of us working as a team conducting research on the type of institutional information that needs to be included on a film poster and the construction of our own personalised institutional information.
You worked well. State which posters you studied and what you found to be the codes and conventions.
