My task was to create a
movie poster about a book I read which (in my imagination) will be made into a
movie. The poster will be part of an advertising strategy.
I chose “Five feet apart”.
The poster should
contain the title of the film in large visible letters while being the center
of attention. The names of the author as director and the name of the producer
(me) of the film should be mentioned on the poster. The focus of the poster should
be an attention-grabbing illustration or collage that reflects the idea of the
film's story without adopting the book cover 1-to-1. Furthermore, quotes from
the actors as well as a certain 'tagline' should be added to increase the
attention and interest of any person who saw the poster (doesn't matter if they
read the book before or not) to watch the movie. Lastly, the poster should also
have a rating or commentary as a critique.
To create my poster I
used the website "www.canva.com". Canva is an online design and
publishing tool that deals with the creative design of presentations, posters,
flyers, cards, videos, collages, worksheets, etc. It offers templates that can be filled in and
used directly (e.g. worksheets for teachers) but can also be modified further.
After that, various download options are available, although one must keep in
mind that not all designs are free of charge.
I think the assignment
was great and well-implemented (even though I think my poster version is a bit
overloaded, due to all the information it must contain). For later, I can very
well imagine incorporating this task in my "eventual teaching",
because as I also mentioned in previous postings about the other tasks,
students can spread their creativity in any direction they want with the help
of technical devices and interesting ways to present their ideas and creations.
What
are your thoughts about my movie poster? Any tips on how I can improve my work?
