Ancilllary Task 1:Newspaper Advert-Analysis of posters

I am researching posters to develop an idea of what I should aim for when creating my own advertisement of my radio drama which may either be in a newspaper or magazines.i have mainly researched film posters which show the same conventions that I should usein my poster such as: boldtitle,fonts which fit with the genre,images which link with the drama,different layouts for ideas of positioning and the details of the Radio release-date, channel etc.

I chose this poster although its advertising a film, called 27 dresses and even though it is not a Radio Drama it helped me think of ideas which I could do for my poster .The film 27 dresses almost fits with the genre of my Radio Drama of comedy, although this film is a romantic comedy but it is linked to Fashion. I really like the layout of this poster with the women posing in a dress which has actually been edited with the text/information inside the dress. I also the like the back ground white as the text stands out and the poster looks classy. The font they used looks handwritten which could suggest its a comedy especially as the text is inside the womens dress. The title of the film 27dresses is in pink suggesting its aimed at a female audience. The poster doesn’t really give away much about the film. It’s more like a teaser poster advertising the film although it will make the audience drawn in to it more as they don’t know everything about it .

I chose this poster although its advertising a film, This is the film called Confessions of a shopaholic which is linked with my genre of fashion and shopping. The colours are really bright and the image clearly shows that this film is set in the location of New York also with her getting in the stereotypical yellow taxi with lots of bags of shopping. Which could be an idea for my poster of lots of bags of clothes to show the topic of fashion. the colours clothes the model is wearing at pink and she is positioned in the middle and underneath her is the title which is in the same colours of her clothes linking the shopaholic to her.

This is the film poster for Devil Wears prada which the film inspired my radio drama.I really like the colour scheme of red, white and black it gives the poster a sophisticated look. the font is even sharp and devil horns on the edges fitting with the image of the shoe which is shiny and the Red heels which are devil shape creates a fierce look to the poster too. This poster is a teaser poster as it just shows the title of the film,and shows the names of the two main characters real names Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, so the poster dosent really give away much of the film.

This is the film In her shoes which is about a women who is a lawyer and has her head on her shoulders where as her sister is party animal who isnt responssible in life and she moves in to her sister which she tries to take over her life. On the poster there is a Quote from company magazine which is to encourage the audience to watch the film. The clothes the women on the left is smart well dressed compared to the girl on the right dressed in young party style clothes. The position, the girl on the right taking up the sofa suggesting shes in control and the The shoes on the right side match the title suggesting that she is wearing her sister and the texts of shoe is in a Bold Title- which is a metaphor, (thinking of being in her shoes/life and her sister taking over her life.) The colour pink stands out.
