Good Movie Poster- 300

    So personally I feel this movie poster for 300 is really well done. As we discussed in class a well done poster should target the right age group. After watching 300 I would know for a fact that the movie itself would target a more young audiene (16-30s?). Looking at this posters it matches with the movies. I feel if an elderly person were to look at it they would be disgusted by the fact before they even see the movie they know there will be blood in it (from how the number 300 is shown on the poster). I don't think however it stir up too much curiosity, the only question I would ask is "Why are soldier getting kicked off a cliff?". The movie would give a feeling to that younger audience because of the action that is taking place on the poster. It may even make the feel a sence of an epic battle taking place between the Spartans and the Persians. The poster does give an accurate portrayal of the movie. It actually shows one of the most memorable parts where the SPartans force the soldiers off the cliff. On top of that it also represents the action that takes place during the entire movie. I feel this poster would attract an audience especially the one I mentioned (the 16-30 area) but not so much the older generation. On Top of this it shows the Studio name, rating, release date, that mini tagline "prepare for glory". One thing however that it does not include was the star names in the movie. I think this was a "hookup" movie for Gerard Butler, where this would help him expand his popularity. As we saw in the Pirates of  the Caribbean, Johnny Depp had already been in so many movies as it was. If it was to show off a good star name at all, it was replaced by "from the creators of Sin City" which was a really well done movie.

The Life and Times of Michael Wilkin-Pierson

   Well to get started I live in Goderich, Ontario with my mom and my aunt. I play sports including but not limited to: soccer, tennis, badminton, and floor hockey. In my extra spare time I play Nintendo 64 (probably the greatest console EVER made), watch tv and movies, hangout with my friends, and chat and creep on facebook. I listen bands including Rise Against and Theory of a Deadman. My favourite shows are The Office, Family Guy, How I met Your Mother, Futurama and The Simpsons.

   I don't mind animals as long as they dont eat me or run in front of my van. I ( well my aunt) have 2 animals, a dog and a cat. The dog is a basset hound named Frankie (left) and the cat is a ragdoll named Stella (right).

   

  

     I am a big fan of listening to music, but I don't like people veiwing my i-pod because I was raised in a house that appreciated bands and singers that would range from Cher, Abba, and The Beegees... to AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, and Bachman Turner Overdrive. Some of my favourite bands include Rise Against, 3OH!3, Down With Webster, and Theory of A Deadman. Since we have XM radio in our van we usually listen to songs that would gradually become famous withing a month or two. I tend say that my favourite song is the one I am currently listening to because I overplay songs WAY too much and then I find it boring.  So here's a video of the song "Hey" by 3OH!3

  So some of my favourite TV shows are The Office, Family Guy, Futurama, and The Simpson. As you can tell half (well all) of these shows  are comedies. I think just watching an episode of one of your favourite comedies releases the stress built up in a day and gives you the good chuckle every now and agian.
