Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

We chose to attract our audience through the use of a Movie Poster. Movie posters have been around for ages and the audience a tiny glipse of what the films about through the name, caption and main image.

We were inspired by the Rocky poster as it is of a similar genre. In the poster there is a main dominant image of Rocky, the main character' in a typical boxing pose showing that hes ready for anything. Along with this is a bold title saying 'ROCKY' with a small boxer inside the letter 'O' Which really captures the audiences eye for detail. The background also inspired us as it showed what rocky was fighting for, in this case himself, his country and village so we used this to inspire us for our background. The one lined quote at the top also gave us ideas for our movie poster and we chose to have a quote on ours aswell.

When it came to our Movie Poster we decided to have a main image of the main character, Jamal, showing that hes both thinking of his father and that hes ready for anything. With this is mind we decided to have him in an Side ways on over the shoulder type pose showing that he has a bag full of perhaps school books or training equipment.

The background shows what Jamal is fighting for. In Rocky it was himself, his country and his Village but in Jamal's case it was his fathers death so we had a Grave in the background aswell as a boxing ring to sell our story to the audience without giving too much away.

The title was made in a broken style font to show how Jamal's heart is still broken after the tragic detah of his father yet its not broken to an extent where it is not useful. Jamal must mend it himself, gather up his courage and go for it.

The famous one line quote was found online and gave our character more depth. "I have had to fight like hell and fighting like hell has made me what i am today" This self explantory quote shows how the death of his father and his training is creating who his character is and it is controlling him in a way. His past is creating his future and moulding his personality.

Just like other movie posters we decided to have the names of Directors and Producers squashed under the Main Title with Production Logo's underneath to complete it and give it a full Proeffesional look.

I am happy with the Poster we created and i think it both attracts our audience and gives away some of of story without giving to much away. This grips the heart and attention of our viewer to make them want to watch out film and find out what happens when Jamal decides to do what he feels he must.
