Questionnaire into Film Posters

These questionnaires are some examples of what the target audience filled in. As a result the feature fil;m poster turned out to be a faviourite because of it's title being bold and eye-catching and it's A-list actors.

Research into Film Posters

To begin with I am going to do my secondary research where I will ask 10 people in canons sixth form within my age group (16-25) and 10 people from Edgware shopping centre also within my age group and show them two posters; one in the style of a short film and the other a feature film poster. I will give them a questionnaire to fill out in order to find out which one they like best. The type of poster they chose will be in the style of my poster, ‘A Looser Like You’.

I chose to conduct my research in Canons High Sixth Form because it includes students who can relate to Nabil’s situation and are the same age as him, therefore this type of audience will be able to understand the storyline better.

I also chose Edgware shopping centre because it includes a variety of different people who are between the ages of 16-25 and this has the advantage of making my results more valid because I have a wide range of people.

Then i will do my primary research where I will see the diffreent codes and conventions of both short film and feature film posters. I want to know why the poster chosen by the audience is more popular than the other. By researching the codes and conventions of the posters i will be able to adopt these ideas into my poster, making it look professional.

Make up and Costume

For our costumes we wanted to create an ideal sterotypical "geek" so therefore we had to be careful of the way we dressed Nabil in order to fulfil that image.

Nabil:

There we thought that a use of a tie can attrack the view that geeks are smart and clever. However, we specifiically chose to use a pink tie which reflected on his personality

.

 The use of the shirt also reflected on his personality as we wanted to create this view that he tries to wear modern clothes in order to fit in with the other popular people but does not create the correct image.

 Sterotypicllay society assumes that geeks wear big  glasses so therefore it was really important that our actor must have very big glasses in order to reflect on his character and allow the audience to understand his character.

Lilly:

           In order to show the differenceo of Nabil and Lilly character the clothes and make - up we used for essential in order to create the effect we wanted. So therefore, the way we presented Lilly was very important in order to show that her character is one of the popular girls who Nabil admires.

We wanted to create a sweet and innocent image of Lilly, so therefore the colours and the make up we used on Lilly help reflect on this view.

The use of the silver eye shadow on her eyes was used very effectively in order to create the view of Lilly being a sweet and innocent girl. We didnt want to use alot of make up on our character as we were looking for a natural look.

We decided to use a red cardigan as it connotes love and passion.

 We used the black scarf to emphasise on the fact that there is a dark side of her especially on the events where she rejects Nabil.

Sarah and Aldo:

The children we decided that we will simply have them wear their school uniform which also emphasis on their intellegence.
