The creation of my film poster was constructed on Photoshop, it went well after having the experience using the programme with my AS coursework I knew what I was doing. I did not have to do a specific photo shoot for my film poster, however now looking back I think that it would have been a good idea to get a range of images that were done in a studio rather than on the film trailer shoot itself. The image that I used was still very good quality and was shot on the Canon 6D camera, the photograph has a professional feel and I think it complies with the conventions of a film poster. I followed other conventions of a film poster for my own product, I referred back to my audience research when I was creating it to make sure that I was constantly appealing to them specifically. I feel my Survey Monkey was really useful with this task as I had to ensure that I was including the aspects of a film poster that they wanted to see and in terms of conventions it helped me follow them specifically. Overall I am pleased with the results of my film poster and I think it has a professional feel to it, however looking back I would have definitely conducted a specific photoshoot for the poster as the image doesn't necessarily comply with the conventions of a film poster image. I found the film poster taskmore difficult than the magazine front cover as there is no specific place that a film poster will be placed and therefore it needs to be aesthetically pleasing up close (e.g cinema wall) but be able to be seen from far away ifit was for example on a billboard on the side of a building.
