Natalie's documentary poster

I wanted to keep my poster simple leaving the imagery to create the most impact on the viewer, i managed this by using as little text as possible. I used for my main image a picture of Barnsley's town hall a prominant feature within Barnsley, to create a shock value i photoshopped the BNP flag onto the top of the building. As this building is the town hall it represents the community of Barnsley as a whole, by placing the flag on top gives the impression that all of Barnsley support the BNP, this gives an insight into what the documentary will be about. For the title i have used the well recognised BNP logo which includes the union jack flag. Underneath this i have placed the title 'Barnsley's New Party' i have used red and blue colours to represent the BNP, changing the colour for each first letter to show the acrostic feature. The only other thing i have included in this poster is the well known channel four logo to show what channel this will be shown on and the time, keeping this black so as not to distract the viewer from the main image.

Natalie Analysis of the Documentary poster Fuel

This poster advertises the documentary 'Fuel' which unveils the deception of Americas supposed dependence on oil and eplores an alternative solution, Biodiesel. It follows josh Tickell and his journey in promoting a sustainable planet giving an indepth insight into Biodiesel.

The title is written in green, a colour which gives connotations of nature and the environment, reflcting what the documentary will be about. The words themselves are in capital, bold print making the title stand out and become the first thing to be seen on the poster. It is short and monosyllabic giving the word impact and making it easy to remember.

There are two taglines on this poster the first situated at the top reads 'The world is addicted to oil. It's time for an intervention.' This also relates to the environmentalist aspect of the documentary and puts across the message that a change is taking place. The writing is in black font with the final word 'Intervention' in green. This particular word is made to stand out from the rest as the ' Itervetnion' is what the documentary is primarily about. A further tagline is written underneath the title saying 'change our fuel...change the world.' This is very informative in very few words summing up the plotline of the documentary. The writing and images in this poster are made more eye catching as they are set against a white background. The juxtapostion of white agianst colours allows the audience to concentrate on whats important without getting distracted by any background imagery or colour.

The main image in this poster is very shocking, it shows the earth covered in black oil. This succeds in grabbing attention and illustrates how the earth is being destroyed by oil, contrasting something beautiful with the image of something ugly and dark. An image of green grass and yellow flowers is shown at the bottom of the poster again portraying nature with the use of colours suggesting the beauty of the earths environment and how it should be preserved.

Various awards which the documentary has been honoured with are situated towards the bottom, these entice the audience to want to watch the film as it has obviously been highly reccommended by industry officials. One award stands out boldy placed in the middle of the other, this being the winner of the audience award. The documentary's website is also included in the poster allowing the audience to discover more information about the documentary therefore gaining it more publicity. Finally the people and companies involved in the making are credited in the poster,giving an opportunity to advertise any credible companyor person, such as bluewater entertainment,which ultimately gives the documentary credibility by association.

Shona Draft poster

I created this poster in order to advertise our Documentary 'Barnsley's new party?' I chose an electoral ribbon which people wear in order to promote the party, i used this image as the main background as it illustrates the political basis of the documentary the colours are bright and impactive and gain the attention of people who see the poster.

I used strong almost military style writing to say the title under the letters BNP in an acrostic style.

I only put the channels symbol which the documentary would be shown on as i felt this would intrigue passers by into looking further into the programme as the poster only shows a basis of the programme and hopefully will encourage the audience to find out more about it.

Documentary Poster Analysis

This poster advertises the documentary ‘Supersize me’ about a man who challenges himself to eat nothing but McDonalds for an entire month in order to monitor the affects of the food served their on the nation.

The Title of the film is written in red and yellow, two colours which are used by the McDonalds franchise in their logo, the word ‘me’ has also been stretched so it looks abnormal this is indicative of the affect the food will have on a person. The tagline is ‘a film of epic portions’ this also relates to the food aspect of the film as it pokes fun at the large portions at McDonalds.

The various awards and nominations the film has been credited with are also included on the poster in order to increase its appeal to the audience as it shows its recommendations from the industries professionals. A comic affect of the image of the man with lots of French fries in his mouth shows that the documentary has a light-hearted tone, the image is also attention grabbing as it is a white background and the man stands out due to his bright red clothing which has connotations of both danger and the McDonalds logo .

The films website is also included on the poster so that the audience can find out more about the film if they wish to. The people and companies and companies involved are also featured on the poster, again this can increase credibility if it is associated with a well known company such as Odeon.

Finally quotations from magazines such as rolling stone feature and give high praise to the film making the audience more likely to see it if it has been spoke well of, the font is yellow and matches in with the red and yellow theme used throughout the poster.
