poster research.

This poster perfectly conveys the nature of Borat. He is a naive character, conveyed in his lonely position. The photo is taken from a high angle connoting a vulnerability within the character, slthough this contrast to the enthusiastic and joyus expression upon his face, this merely supports his emmence naivety. The font of the text supports the foriegn and dated theme that resounds within the bland colours he not only wears, but is surrounded by.
Our character is similar to Borat within his naivety and lonliness, therefore this could a potential style for our poster. However within our actual film, we hope convey several different sides and moods to our character, therefroe perhap we could find a style that allows a viewer to notice different traits to this character.


trainspotting is a popular british film, it concentrates on the toils of addiction and a mans struggle to quit heroin.this poster reflects the emmence variety of characters that occur within the film, each with a different pose and facial expresssion to convey their general attitude. For example, 'begbie' uses the effect of a strong gesture to portray his aggressive and short tempered nature. perhaps we could use this device to capture the varying moods and feelings of Simon, a compilation of photos, each connoting a different side to our character.
I also like the use of bold colours, capturing the audiences attention; i think this effect could be obtained with the presence of the oven gloves. This would connote how the gloves are the only source of colour and perhaps happiness within his life, even though they restrict his day to day life.

       
Here are a collection of posters that single out a particular character. The locations and level of zoom differs allowing for altered perceptions of them. It is clear that colour is an important factor when designing these posters, it gives an idea as to the themes that will be included and the general mood of the feature. Several od these characters are straight on to the camera - connoting an awareness and willingness to be involved. Whereas, those characters not looking staraight convey a mysterious attitude, as if the photo taken was from a covert perspective.
