stupid and slapstick, like most film posters such as 'Nacho Libre' & 'Don't mind the Zohan'. Many of these posters have characters of the film pulling pathetic, unnatural facial expressions to deliberately look stupid. These posters are so bad, it shows how desperately hard their trying to make the film look like a comedy. Because these posters get so cringy and off putting, the public is drawn away from watching the film, which is just the cause of bad advertising.
I left Duncan to come up with ideas for the images, as he was already streaming out ideas for a comedy film poster which would naturally look funny. Duncan took several different shots around the school, shots of myself with various other characters of the film, even just shots of myself.
In the end, Duncan chose Luke (who played the transvestite in the film), to stand being me whilst I'm reading the Leon Trotsky book. Luke would be pulling a facial expression that would show that he is taking the mick out of me. Duncan chose this image due to the fact that it showed a message to the audience and that it would already hint the character description. The fact that Luke was mimicking me whilst I was reading a Leon Trotsky book showed that I am the butt of everyone's jokes, as well as the fact that I am trying to be intelligent and to hide my clumsiness and idiotic, bizarre behaviour. What really sparks the joke off is that Leon Trotsky was a Russian general/communist in the second world war, and a character of my description is trying to study the backgrounds and persona of a Russian communist.
The colours I chose were colours that were already on the picture itself. An example of this is black, white and red, as they were the colours located on the Trotsky book, and I would use these colours to create other things, such as the titles.
The certificate 18 is labelled on the picture to warn the audience that the content in the film maybe offensive or uncomfortable for others. The film does contain adult humour, bad language and some sex references.
As you may of noticed, there is a spelling mistake as 'Nominees' is spelt 'Nomaniees'. This has only been noticed recently. However, I am unable to re-edit this error as the software I used is now defunct since the 19th of April 2012. The software I used was 'Picnik'. 'Picnik' was bought out by google and has now been transformed into a whole different website, with different purposes and themes.
