Movie Poster Project
Directions:
I. CHARACTERS:
Choose 4 characters from your book. Cast appropriate modern actors for the 4 main roles. The movie poster must include the character’s and actor’s name.
II. MOVIE POSTER: With your group, create a promotional poster advertising your new movie. Include:
· Two or more significant or symbolic images from the book (could be collage, individual drawings, mixed media, etc.). Images should reflect, emphasize, illustrate, or otherwise add to the meaning, theme, mood, tone, action, and/or characterization in the book.
· List of actors’ names and the characters they play (pictures of the actors are optional)
· Catchy blurb (advertising slogan or short statement of what it’s about, meant to get people interested)
· A theme song for your movie
· A significant quotation from a critic. “Significant” means that it reveals something critical about the performance and can only be said about this movie/book. “Two Thumbs Up” doesn’t cut it!
· Two or more of the propaganda techniques we studied clearly used in the poster
Poster due B-day: May 10 A-day: May 11.
