A Film Company i would use to produce my movie for Film Noir is 20th Century Fox because they have been in the film company for a long time and have been producing well known movies till now. A film noir movie they did really well on was 'i wake up screaming'.
Another film company i would use for my hollywood movie is Paramount Pictures because as i am doing horror Paramount Pictures have done really good horror movie that have a high rating like paranormal activties and The Devil inside.
My film noir is targeted at both gender but targeted at 18-50 year olds. this is because younger teens would not be intrested by a black and white film that is set in the 20th century. its is targeted at 18 year olds and older because they might have more interest in the film and will understand it much bettter.
For my hollywood Movie it is targeted at 15-35 year olds and not younger because it is more explicit and younger children could be terrified and haunted by the movie and could effect them more than 15 and older.
Before making both for my posters i had to have an idea as to how i would design it and what the typical things are for the certain genres. For example my Film Noir poster i had to research what a femme fatale looks like and the typical costume and makeup for her. When researching i found out what the posters looked like in the 20th century and titles so my film noir poster would be similar but different due to my own ideas. One of the typical things for a femme fatale was red lipstick. For the doomed hero i also reserached the costumes and how they acted in the Films so when taking my own phtotgraphy i could ask my model to have a certain facial expression so my poster would give away that he is the doomed hero and the female is the femme fatale.I also reserched what made the film noir movies and posters popular i did this so i could do the same with my poster.
Hollywood movie poster: i researched popular horror movie posters and the ratings and why and what made them so succesful and lured people in to watch it. Using magizines helped me get an idea for my poster. looking at the ratings and main pictures helped me because it gave me an idea for my poster. when planning for my hollywood movie poster it toke me more time to think of something than my film noir poster because film noir had typical conventions like a Doomed Hero and Femme Fatale but for my hollywood movie poster i could put any image on my cover and it would still be interesting and want viewers to watch it.
Film Posters are a form of promotion,posters can promote the film in alot of different places like bus stops,billboards and cinema to show future releases theres no limit to where they can be advertised.Movie posters are everywhere because they promote to catch peoples eyes and make them want to see the movie.
Hollywood Movie Poster:
By putting Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson names on my poster will entice the viewers to watch the film as the actors are starring also the viewers would be familair with the two names as they were both main characters on The conjuring which was one of the best horror movies ever made and people were either frightened or enjoyed the movie. I've used the actor and actress because from the past movie they were in,it was a really good horror movie and their acting skills were really good.My colour scheme is red and black these dark colours represent horror because black represnts dark places and red also represents blood. These two colours represent my movie because its about murder,blood and dark alleyways.the Two main colours also give away mystery because all my poster gives away is the title,actors names,realease date etc..of the movie its up to the viewers to interpreate the movie the way they want to.The Lighting of my movie is quite dark the only bright things are the actors names and realease date this is because they are important to catch peoples eyes. For my main picture i had a woman model because in film noir the femme fatale is seductive and beautiful whereas on my horror poster my model has blood from her eyes and her facial expression is more haunting,she plays a strong part in the movie because she is not leading and vindictive but the opposite.I've zoomed into only the face of the model and her hair. I did this because facial expression are very important as it gives away the genre the movie is going to be. I also zoomed in because in society people always want females to look their best everyday and look perfect which is not true and in my movie its all about blood and disturbing things this is why i put a female as my main picture because it gives females power to dress and look the way they want.Make-up and Hair: I used red eyeliner to give an effect of horror because it gives an effect of red blood coming from the eyes this gives an impression of horror.with the models hair i messed it up to give it an edge.
Film Noir:
Facial Expression:During the Time Film Noir films were being created it was after the war and people were still going through depression and rough times because loved ones could've passed so i made my model look sad and depressed to show that femme fatale as more power over him as he could be grieving and vulnerable.
Title: The title is called ''Drunk in Temptation" because the doomed hero is a drunk depressed man and the femme fatale templates him and has power over him.My title gives away a lot about the movie as most Film Noir movie have typical things like femme fatale and doomed hero and their characteristics are almost the same in most of the Films.
During The Film Noir time period there was a lot of insecurtites which is why i made my poster dark because it links back to the time period and and the title.It also creates mystery and tension.The Red typography is bright because it makes the poster look intresting and the colour scheme looks good together.
Actors name:This entices people to watch the movie because their favourite actors are starring.
Mise-en-scene:
Costume:For my femme fatale the red lipstick presents power,confidence and domination a typical costume for a femme fatale. For my doomed hero wearing a black hat presents depression,hiding yourself from the rest of the world. Another typical thing for a Doomed hero and what most men wore during the time period of Film Noir. Hollywood Movie poster:My model wore a white normal shirt this gives an expression of a plain fashion sense but also creates a sense of horror because the rest of the models face is frightening.
Facial expression: Femme fatales facials expression on my poster was a strong powerful look, this gives an expression that she has control over the doomed hero and she dominates. The doomed Hero facial expression is depressed and alone from the world,this gives an expression that he's alone and obsessed because a girl has a latch over him.Long black jacket creates mystery which the doomed hero represents most of the time.Hollywood movie poster:the facial expression on the models face is scary look to frighten the viewers and give an impression of horror and have a spine chilling effect.
Setting/props:Film Noir:Holding a cigarette is significant because it shows his depression and loneliness because people who smoke know their life will soon end and smoking for them could cause some cancer.Hollywood movie poster:The setting of the poster is just a black background I merged my photograph to present that that the character is always around but you can't see her because she hides in the dark this creates a sense of horror as the dark frightens some people.
Hair and Make up: the red blood represents tension and horror and makes the model have an interesting gruesome edge and fits in well with the genre.Film Noir:Red lipstick presents confidence and the femme fatale had a lot of confidence compared to the doomed hero. Red lipstick is seductive and leading which leads the doomed hero into a trap as the femme fatale dominates his life.
Camera angle:Film Noir: I did a medium close up on the Doomed hero to show his facial expression and body language that he is depressed extreme close up on the femme fatale to show her facial expression that she is powerful and strong.Hollywood movie poster:medium close up on the model to show her red bloody eyes also to frighten the viewers and make the poster look like a horror movie poster.
Evaluation.
My title for my hollywood movie poster was good because its the main thing and it makes the viewer want to watch it because my title gives away a little bit of mystery.i would improve the lighting of my main picture because its too bright and makes the horror genre unprofessional.i would also tell my model look a bit scarier because she doesn't give a strong frightening look that will haunt people. The title of my Film Noir is good because it relates to the movie and the typical conventions. Something I would improve is lighting on the main picture as its too dark also if I thought about it properly I wouldn't crop some of the hat out if I left it I would be able to bring the doomed hero photo a bit down and the femme fatale more up as she is in the sky showing domination but it looks like the doomed hero has a bit more power over her even-though the femme fatale is looking over him.but the facial expressions give away that the femme fatale is powerful and the doomed hero is pathetic and sad.
