Homework #5

After reading the interview with movie poster creator Dustin Stanton, it really made me realize how important and crucial it is to make a movie poster/teaser. You want to make sure the viewers view your movie poster the same way you do. Obviously you want to make sure that the movie poster makes sense with what the movie is about. I feel like this is one of those things where asking yourself: "Is this good enough?" could be good, and bad. It would be good, by everyone agreeing that the  movie poster is perfect, and doesn't need anything else. It would be bad, by making you think about what more you could've put on the movie poster, and if it is really done. Me being a HUGE video game nerd, could easily relate while reading this interview. Well, not me personally. But it made me think of cover arts for video games. Boy, has that changed a LOT over the years. Think about it, a movie could do good or bad depending on the poster for it. A video game could sell good or bad depending on the cover art for the game. Certain video games didn't sell well in the U.S., because the cover art for the game looked either really bad or stupid. But that doesn't mean the game itself was a bad game! It just got screwed over for it's cover art. Well, I could easily see the same thing happening to a movie all over the movie poster being bad. It's funny how you connect things to other things you wouldn't normally associate with them.
