Welcome back everyone! I hope you guys are having a fantastic day and are ready to learn more about the production of 'Only Mine'. You guys might be wondering, "What will we learn about today?" Today, we will be discussing the print component of my Portfolio Project. The print component of 'Only Mine' consists of a movie poster. However, this blog post will only consist of research on movie posters. I will be describing the movie posters for two films or mediums relating to my genre and how a movie poster contributes to the production of a film. Let us begin...
Why are movie posters important?
Movie posters are crucial parts of any production process. They serve as promotional tools and offer glimpses into the setting, plot, and tone of the movie that is being advertised. Additionally, movie posters serve as a complementary art form for the film medium. Movie posters often set the tone of a film through design elements, imagery, and color schemes. These each contribute to the representation of the mood of the film. In other words, the poster gives viewers a glimpse into the emotional experience they can acquire.
Here are two links you guys can check out for further information on movie posters:

Movie posters for well-known films:
1
As you can see, the title of the designated film is 'You'. The movie poster consists of a tagline, bold title, image, designated streaming service, and release dates. A tagline is a short description of the movie that captures the film's essence. The tagline does a good job at capturing the audience's attention and persuading them to watch the film. Next, a bold title is important because it allows the audience to identify the title and clearly see how important it is. The bold title used in this poster is in capitalized, white letters and has a cut in the middle of the letters. This can exhibit a sense of danger throughout the film.
As we move on, let us continue to discuss the elements of the movie poster above. The image of the movie poster is very important. The image gives potential viewers a glimpse of what they might expect from the story. In the movie poster for 'You,' a picture of Joe is provided. Joe is known as the main character or protagonist of the film. So, viewers are able to see who the main character of the TV-show is. Apart from this, the movie poster has a streaming service and release dates embedded. Streaming services and release dates allow the audience to know where they can access the movie and when it will be available to watch.
Researching the movie poster for 'YOU' has greatly inspired me. I now have a better idea of what I want to do for the movie poster for 'Only Mine'. I plan to showcase what I have learned and illustrate all elements of a proper movie poster. 'YOU' is a great representation of a movie poster that illustrates necessary elements and speaks for its genre.

As you can see, the title of the medium is 'Secret Obsession'. This movie poster is similar to the one used for 'YOU'. Both include an image, bold title, streaming service, and release date. However, this movie poster does not include a tagline. This is not ideal because a tagline is the sole way to express the theme or plot of the film. However, let us analyze what the movie poster for 'Secret Obsession' does provide. As I have mentioned before, the image used in a movie poster lets the audience see an important aspect of the film. The image used for this movie poster consists of the main characters. Additionally, the audience is able to see a girl running from a car. This can illustrate that the girl is afraid or running away from something dangerous. This is a great representation of the thriller genre.
As significant as the image is in a movie poster, a bold title and depiction of streaming services/release dates play important factors. Similar to 'YOU,' the title for 'Secret Obsession' is in capitalized, white letters. Through this, the audience is able to understand that this phrase is very important to the film. If not, the most important element on the movie poster. Moving on, the streaming service for 'Secret Obsession' is Netflix and its release date is July 18. The audience knows exactly where to view the film and is given a date to watch it.
Researching the movie poster for 'Secret Obsession' has been incredibly beneficial. Since the movie poster does not include a tagline, I now know to make sure to include all necessary elements of a film poster. Additionally, I was inspired through my research of this poster. For my production, 'Only Mine,' I am going to aim to provide an image that illustrates the main characters or plot of my film. I am also going to include a bold title that attracts the attention of my viewers.
Whew, that was a lot of information for today. The good thing is, is that you guys are all more knowledgeable about movie posters for different films. You guys all know the necessary components a film poster should include and you all have seen two good examples of it. That being said, thank you so much for checking out my blog today and see you guys very soon! XOXO...
