Film Poster - PURE

Not my final edit.
Starting to bring in text and different fonts to create a similar effect as the Jaws Poster.

Ancillary Task

In every film trailer you will ever see there is likely to be an 'Institution Logo' to represent the company making the film/trailer. From research I found it that most companies would use a logo or an object to stand out so people would acknowledge who the institution is just by seeing the logo and not necessarily the writing which goes with it. 

'Universal Studios' is a good example of this as the logo is the earth spinning which people would recognise anywhere.  http://www.universalpictures.co.uk/images/Introbg.jpg

Because all these big institutions had a big logo for people to focus on it meant that I needed to create one myself but making it unique. 

I made the logo on a special editing site which I found on a forum. There were lots of different templates which I could you and you are able to draw in your own effects. 

This is the design I came up with.. 

OWB stands as my initials so I called the production company OWB because it sounded more professional than using my my first or second name.

Secondly I made the body of the Eagle into a film reel to represent film and cinema as a way of showing the connotations of what my Production Company is about. Then using the eagles head seemed quite iconic and noticeable to someone who would be viewing meaning I could try and make the same effect as Universal Studios etc. 'Golden Age Corporation' was a text added in to relate back to the eagle and the colours used on the logo. Also it could relate the golden age with the change of font to look older and more vintage compared the the very modern Title and Logo.

Ancillary Task

Mini mock up of what I plan to do for my film poster. 

The basic idea is to relate to American Gangster by using the black and white effect along with the sharp red used to create effect of violence. Also the character in the poster is wearing a suit which shows the authority which he stands under whilst holding a gun meaning he could be a man of violence and relates more to American Gangster and the interlinks between guns and people.
