final poster
This is my final draft of my film poster. I have responded to the feedback I got on it and changed a few aspects from my original draft.
TITLE
The title "SONDER" is the biggest part of the poster, in the middle so it is the first thing the audience will see. Each letter is made up of a different character's face, which relates to the film as it is about individual people and I have chosen to show that in the title. There are no spoilers but it does give an indication as to what is included in the film and the iconography of it is shown in the most simple but effective layout- the film is about people, so the poster shows the people individually.
CAPTION
Beneath the title I have put the definition of "SONDER", as it comes up on the film. This gives the potential audience an idea of what to expect from the film without knowing exactly what is in it; they will know that my inspiration has come from the definition but they won't know how I adapted that into the film.
BACKGROUND
I chose to use a plain white background against the images and text to know they stand out and are what the audience needs to see first. The white is a bold but not loud contrast against the title and additional words and shows that the audience needs to look into the middle of the poster.
QUOTES
Looking at existing film posters, I noticed that a common trope in them is to have quotes somewhere on the page from film critics. I have used this technique along the top of the page; it shows the common rating and quotes from highly recognised critics without being the main focus of the poster.
FONT
I used a continuous font across my film and poster. The typewriter font is a big feature of my film for the annotations, so I continued that into the poster to show it was a conscious decision.

This is also excellent Charlotte, very well done! It sets the tone of your film as well as raising curiosity. I really like your construction of the whole poster.

Highly conventional and works well intertextually. This uses many of the elements of this type of poster, as you have established. Make sure all your texts- main and ancillary, have an overall feel that matches the film's content.
