Final Poster Feedback

After completing our final poster, we presented it to our peers in order to gain feedback on any final changes.


Our peers said:

• They thought the red nails worked effectively, as it projected a scary image of entrapment and also the colour of red connotes the colour of danger and blood. The red nails also help to present a feminine character, which helps to narrate our storyline.


• The title of 'White Lies' stands out on the poster as behind the title it has a bright colour palette. The title is also in the middle of the page which clearly shows that it is the title.
  
• The 'Coming Soon' was in red, which links it to the title because of the colour of red. This worked effectively as it drew your eye to the title and to the phrase 'Coming Soon', which helped you to instantly recognise it as a film poster.


• The background is black, which our peers thought was effective as it made them question what was behind the hand. It also helped to create a sense of uncertainty and a fear of the unknown. It also intrigued people into the poster, which will entice them to find out more by watching the film.
  
• They also commented that the genre of horror was very clear due to the motif of blood, the colours, the tagline and the image.


• There was a narrative enigma, which intrigued people into the storyline and and attracted them to the film to find out more.
  
• They liked the fact that 'hurt' was bigger then the rest of the tagline, as it drew emphasis to the theme of violence and made them want to find out what happened.
  
• They also liked the heavy contrast in the image as it made the image more defined, which attracts the eye to the poster. It also highlights the main theme of violence and emphasises a struggle.

• They also like the colour palette of the poster, as the only colours featured on the poster are white, black and red. They liked the simplicity in the colours, however they felt that these colours created a bold impact on the audience as they contrast well and also reflect the themes of the film.

• They felt that the bruising and the blood on the hand were created well and looked very authentic. This also emphasised the main themes of violence, as people associate blood and bruises with danger.

• Our peers also stated that they thought our poster overall looked very professional. This is important to create a higher status for our film and to ensure that people can relate it to the macro media. This is important as it will encourage people to relate our film with macro media and encourage them to see something that they think will be of a similar quality.
