Movie Poster Proposal

Movie Poster Proposal

Proposal for Creative Media Production Project

16th October 2013

Summary of content: The story for the film poster i am going to create is about a 15 year old boy who moves into a new town and has to start a new life with his new foster family. ('Thomas Moore' is the name of the boy). Thomas wants to live a normal life but theres something in his life that stops him from doing what he wants to do. This is because of the house he has moved into. Thomas is greeted by a demon that no one else can see. He gives Thomas tasks to complete from the  and it can go to the extreme of murder. Unless Thomas completes these tasks, the demon threatens to kill him. In the end, Thomas completes a number of horrible tasks but he dies because the demon asks Thomas to murder his friend in order to stay alive, but Thomas doesn't do this so he kills himself to get away from it. 

The Summary of style: Although the story is different, i am going to draw my inspiration for my film poster from the film 'INSIDIOUS'. The theatre poster for this was very creative and includes a lot images that it is in film. In order for my poster to be effective, i need to inlclude the right font to match the genre of the film, images that could be invloved in the film such as: other characters in the film, the house he lives, and the main character enlarged at the front. The demon is one of the most important characters in the story so i will have his face somewhere on the front of the film poster, but not so big so all the attention draws onto him.

In order to avoid copyright and Legal and ethical considerations, i need to put an appropriate BBFC age restriction on the front of my film poster. I think the right age certificate for my film is a 15, this is due the film storyline and the characters that involved in the film. To avoid copy write, i will take my own photographs and create my own tag lines, and use appropriate language so i do not upset social groups or infringe laws.

For the working title for my film i was thinking about naming it away with the darkeness'. My ideas for the these titles is because it fits with the storyline and the plot of the film, the character 'Thomas Moore' tries to stay away or try to avoid the demon in the film but other titles maybe better so im not fully sure on what to call it. These are just a few ideas. 

The genre of my film poster is a supernatural horror, i chose this because to create a good poster of this genre, you have to be imaginative, creative and clever in what you put into it. I had a lot of genres to choose from and the four i had in mind were action, comedy, romantic or horror. I chose to make a supernatural horror because the best storyline i came up with was a supernatural horror. 

The intended target audience for the film poster i am going to create is a '15' or '12a'. The reason for this is because supernatural horror films usually contain the images of either ghosts, demons, possessed characters etc. The images used on most supernatural horror dvd cases, are not suitable for children under the age of 12 and the film itself.
