Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 poster 3rd and final draft

This is my final version for my Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 poster.

The similarities that this poster has with my second draft is that both of these posters contain more than one image of Kevin James in it, however this poster goes more over the top with this idea as there are eight Kevin James's on it doing different actions and poses. I did this so people who look at this poster know that this film is a wild and crazy comedy, which this film is. I achieved this by cropping eight different images of Kevin James as Paul Blart (Mall Cop 2) on Photoshop . I did this so the eight images could be placed behind another without the background of the image getting in the way. I first placed the image of Kevin James on a segway, then behind that a larger image of Kevin James holding onto his belt. I then put the other three Kevin James's coming from the left of the centre Kevin James, then three to the right.

The background in this poster is the Wynn Las Vegas casino and resort, which is what I used as the background in my second draft. I used the Wynn Las Vegas as the background in this poster for two reasons, the first reason being this is where the film was shot and takes place so this poster is telling the audience that Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 takes place in a mall.
The second reason why I used the interior shot of the Wynn Las Vegas was the image contained lots of red and blue. With the blue title as well as the whitish images of Kevin James on this poster, it will attract a mostly American audience. The protagonist of this film also being of a larger size also appeals to Americans because he will be a more relatable character than an action movie star in that role because in America (and other developed nations) fat people are more common.

In the top left corner of the poster, in a empty space, I wrote down "Kevin James is", so people who see this poster will know who is staring in this film. People who might recognise from some of his films but not know Kevin James's name, will now know who he is and if they enjoyed his films, will be attracted to this film.

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 poster 2nd draft

This is my second draft at a Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 poster.

In comparison with my first draft, this poster is much darker and edgier than the first poster so the audience knows that this film isn't just a pointless slapstick comedy but it still has a picture of Kevin James looking silly so the audience knows that it is also a comedy.
I made it darker by changing the brightness levels in photoshop.

The background for the top part of the image is the Wynn Las Vegas casino and resort which is where the majority of this film of takes place and was shot.
The background on the bottom part of the poster is the interior of Wynn Las Vegas.

The large image of Kevin James running at the top of the poster shows the audience it is a comedy because he is making a whacky face and he is fat.
In the bottom half of the poster, Kevin James is falling while being grabbed by someone, this tells the audience that this film also has action. This shows the audience that this film covers multiple genres. I achieved this by cropping around a picture of Kevin James and foe and then placing that image on top of the picture of the Wynn Las Vegas.

Next to the 50% opacity image of Kevin James at the top of the poster is some writing that tells people who stars in this film and what the actor has accomplished from his performance in this film. You can see on this poster that Kevin James was nominated in Teen choice awards. I put that there so people who are aware of the teen choice awards will be attracted to this film.

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 poster 1st draft

Here is a poster I made for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

This is my first attempt at a poster for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. The main image in the poster is Kevin James as Paul Blart in Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 running while making a sill face. That shows the audience that this film is a comedy. I then placed some black boxes to write in. I did this so I could write Kevin James and Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. I then wrote 2015 teen choice awards nominee on it so people who look at this poster will know that this film is popular and well liked by critics. The text is either blue or yellow because those colours are used by authorities like the police and (Paul Blart) Mall Cop's.

Movie poster assignment (part 1)

The film that I intend to create a new poster for is 2015 comedy smash hit Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, staring the one and only, Kevin James. What attracted me to this genre defying film, is that some people might be put of the film by this poster, so I will make my own attempt to advertise this film for free.

The first thing I did was find some films that are similar to Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.
These three films are very similar to Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 as they are all silly comedy films.

 Here we have a classic poster, the original Paul Blart Mall Cop.
