This is the 7th week of controlled hours for Unit B321 (hours 12 & 13). At the end of this lesson, you will have a maximum of 17 hours remaining.
If you are following our recommended timetable of tasks, you should now be completing the existing film poster deconstructions. Remember, you are attempting to demonstrate that you know the technical language for film posters and that you can read representations within the poster. Look at previous posts for further guidance (especially those posted when you were deconstructing posters before Xmas).
Here are some examples of deconstructed posters as a guide (please do not use these examples in your own portfolio).
Annotated Deconstruction of Casino Royale
Annotated Deconstruction of From Russia With Love
Written Deconstruction of The Mummy
You can also look in our mock up of a completed portfolio for examples of different methods of presenting your poster deconstructions. If you don't have access to the physical portfolio, you can download a scan here.
Out of Hours Learning
Consider your film poster deconstructions. How are you going to present them? What are you going to write? Consider both technical print media language and issues of representation.
Once you have deconstructed existing products (film posters) it's time to start thinking about your own film poster. The first stage is to present a Flat Plan of your poster. Click here, here or here for examples of Flat Plans (or see the Individual Portfolio mock up).
