Film poster research

In order to create our own poster i thought it would be a good idea to research existing posters to get ideas that could contribute towards our own one. I looked at films relating to ours aswell as a more general selection...


MATILDA - can be considered similar to our film as it has a target audience of children, it involves 'magic' and it's "fun".
The poster uses bright colours, with a main colour of yellow, which immediately establishes it as a childrens film because of the use of primary colours. The primary image consists of the main characters and their personalities are suggested through their body language and position in the frame.













THE WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE - the poster for Wizards of Waverly Place can also provide ideas for us because the film is again, similar to ours. The theme of magic is relevant within this movie and this is apparent in the poster due to their wands and the glow of them. Again, the main characters are in the poster and their body language suggests subtle characteristics, for instance the centre female, Alex, looks slightly mischevious due to her facial expression.













THE WORST WITCH - this is another film involving magic and witches, relating to our film because of the 'magical' element. This poster has a bit more colour in it with the purple background which may be something we need to include in our poster because we need it to look attractive and appeal to a young target audience. The image contains the main characters and the costumes and setting illustrate what the film is about.
















HARRY POTTER - this is another film that we can relate to, and the poster may also inspire us for our own one. The poster is a lot more crowded than the other ones and there are images all over the page but this is to show a variety of characters. This isn't relevant to our film as

we only have 3 characters so it would be hard to do this, however we can use other moments from our film for

images but this will be something we discuss when

creating the poster.
