For our film Prime Time, I decided to make a poster as a form of advertisement. As you can see from the poster on the right, the title "Prime Time" is featured right at the top in the same font as the cast's name just below them. This is to make that specific information stand out and to grab the audience's attention which is very important as the title is supposed to give them an idea of what the film is going to be about. Below is a picture of Lewis Hamer's eye which was edited by me using Adobe Photoshop. I decided to get four prime numbers and decorate them around his pupil to symbolise a clock. I decreased the opacity of the numbers to make it look more realistic. This was to convey the message that the prime numbers are taking over Thomas' life which again correlates with the title itself hence enticing the audience and making them wonder what the prime numbers exactly mean. I placed the numbers in a clock like manner to emphasise how Thomas' life is ticking away due to Vincent's abuse and is forced to be a slave to his company.
I also decided to add some quotes on the image which is a common trait of real life posters. This creates that sense of professionalism and gives the audience an early opinion of the film. For example, "It's a must see" instantly implores the viewer to see the film as the quotes are usually from film critics. Finally below the image is the cast illustrating roles, directors, editors, etc. This is all styled with the font "steel tongs" which is again a common feature used in most film posters. Overall the design is very black and white which was designed like this to convey the message of emptiness due to the dull colours used. It is also quite suitable for the genre as people wouldn't expect to see vibrant colours like red and green on a psychological thriller film poster.
