Poster: 2nd Draft

Corrections We Have Made

• From our previous evaluation of the first draft our teacher said that we needed to include a  tagline to help sum up the themes, ideas and story line of the movie. As a group we came up with different ideas to what the tagline should be here are a few examples:

I think, therefore I am.-  we were also considering doing this quotation in capitals. The reason why we liked this tagline is because it is an actual quote from Rene Descartes, in whom the movie is named after. We believe that by using this tagline it will help the poster celebrate the life of an influential mathematician, and also it goes along with the themes of movie.

Another tagline we were considering was 'To be inspirational you first have to inspire yourself.'- Our group liked this tagline because it is a quotation that will make the audience think. Additionally, it tells the audience that the purpose of this movie which is to inspire you and to change their way of thinking.

Ellie and I both liked these taglines but we decided to go with the tagline of 'I think, therefore I am.' The reason why our group decided to use this tagline is because we like how it is an actual quotation from the mathematician Rene Descartes, therefore it fits into the essence of this poster as film is based on the Cameron who is meant to resemble to modern day version of Descartes life.

• Another part of the poster that our teacher thought that we could improve on is to include the actors names. By having the actors names on the poster the audience is able to recognise who they are, so if they have done any previous work which the audience likes they are more likely going to see the movie. Also we have some upcoming actors in this trailer which have not done any previous acting, so the audience will able to keep track them in the future. Therefore having the actors names is also a form of publicity for them. On our poster we included the protagonists name Euan who plays Cameron and supporting actress, Patricia who plays Mya.

• Our teacher also thought that we need to include the BBFC rating for the movie so the audience can see what rating the movie the trailer is aimed at so they can decided if it suitable for them to watc
• h. Therefore our group added the rating in the bottom right of the poster.

Limitations

We asked our teacher to review our poster again to see the corrections that we can make:

• Our teacher believed that the names of the actors needs to be made bold and bigger so that it fills the page.
• Our teacher also thought that we need to change the position of the characters, so she thought that we should make Euan larger and move Patricia and Yazdan upwards to fill the page.
• Additionally Our teacher thought that we need to make the release date stand out because it blends into the poster credits. This needs to be done so that the audience can see clearly when the movie is coming out.
• Our teacher also thought that we need to add the company identities at the bottom of the page.

Personal Evaluations

WWW: With the helpful criticism of our teacher and others our poster is looking more professional. Even though we have a lot of work still to do our group really like the format and the concept of the poster.

EBI: Our group will pay attentions to the criticisms that we have received and apply the corrections.
