Poster Feedback

After producing our film poster, I then wanted to ask audiences what they thought of it.

• "It doesn't give much information about the film.   When and where is it going to be shown?  Audiences need to know this. " - Maria Stone
• "The text at the bottom of the page isn't very clear - thats the only negative thing I can think of!" - Jack Johnson

From the experimental film posters we found, like the image below, we found that most advertised the product and director.  Not many showed the time/date/venue of the showing.  We based our ideas on the poster below, because we did not want to follow the conventions of a saturated release, such as the Hunger Games (Poster shown below).

Jack, thought that the font used at the bottom of the poster was too hard to see.  From this feedback I went back and changed the size and colour so that it stands out from the background.  Here is the before and after the changes we made from our audience feedback.

From Jack's feedback we improved our poster greatly, and made the text stand out more from the background.  This change was important so that the audience can read the text underneath the picture.
