Flat Plans


For the magazine review, the same colour scheme will be followed, for the same reasons as before, but this also creates a strong throughline between them both, which isgood considering they are about the same creative project. The layout I have chosen is quite typical of a magazine spread, it includes stills of the film, plenty of text about the film, even an interview with the lead actor in the movie. The writing style will be quite formal, in line with the format. There is also a small segment giving info about the writer of the piece.




I have followed a simple, tried and tested composition formula for my poster. The protagonist takes up a large amount of space on the page, making them easily recognisable as what they are. The protagonist is facing to the left, implying they are refusing progression or maybe do not know how to move forward, narratively speaking. To the right of the compsition there will be an image of a few of the students who are more significant in the narrative, looking towards the protagonist, implying he needs to face them to progress. The colour scheme of the poster wil be quite white, giving a feeling of professionalism which is to be expected of the documentary style, this is also reflected in the title, which will be in industry standard script font. Both subjects in the poster will be framed at a close up, which is a strongly used shot in documentaries, particularly when there is an interview going on, which will happen a lot during the film.
