Homework #5

An interesting article about how much thought goes into making a movie poster. The Magnolia poster definitely caught my eye. I loved the detail he put into Magnolia with the sky line at the bottom and the weave that represents the weaving of people through each others lives, it's a very poetic poster. The 'There Will Be Blood' poster had many concepts some that were very simple and some that were more complex and moving. Especially the one where the two men are embracing and one is visually distressed. It shows emotion on a level we usually don't see in our daily lives, it's very grabbing. The one of the man with his face all red and dropping back into the background is also eye catching when you first look at it. It shows distress, danger, mystery which make you want to pick it up and watch it. I enjoyed this article very much and how the creator discussed his process and some of his work, it gives me some great ideas for my upcoming Movie Poster.
