'Amari's Secret'- Short Film Poster (Holly)

 Amari's Secret 

The short film poster 'Amari's Secret' uses minimalistic design to portray the film, which is something I would like to use for our poster, drawing attention to minimal details.
The narrative from this poster leaves a question to the audience as to who is 'Amari' and what is their secret? The CU side profile of a cat is used to advertise in which the focus is pulled towards the cat's eye, which could suggest the cat is Amari, or in which the cat is witnessing something. The phrase 'curiosity killed the cat' comes to mind when I see this poster, and could suggest the secret is potentially dangerous.

The poster uses bright colours which draws attention to the main features, being the cat's eye, once again suggesting the cat is witnessing something. The genre of the film is unclear, but through the title you could suggest it is a thriller, the bright vibrant colours could be used to disorientate the audience.

The font is small and spacious, the white standing out against the background , the size of the font could give a direct link to a 'secret', being conspicuous.

Actors names are not featured on the poster, the length of the film could be reflective of this, as feature length movies usually have named actors to generate more of an audience. However this film has a 'From the studio that bought you:' which relates a direct link to the audience who watched the film before, giving the film a demographic and an audience.

I like the focus pull and the minimalism of the poster, which is something I want to use for our final product as it gives an effect to the audience to pull the attention to a specific part, an enigma is produced within the title, as the audience questions what the secret is, which the short title of our film 'Soup' would hopefully create intrigue to the audience.
