Poster Deconstruction



This poster is a good example for an action comedy poster, it features the main character who is in his "super suit" making him look badass but he's posed in a way that makes him look silly which is basically Deadpools entire persona so when someone sees this and goes to see the movie they would see what they saw in  the poster.
The tagline is good because it, once again, demonstrates Deadpools character:
"BAD ASS" - He's a badass
"SMART ASS" - Tells the viewer that he's a smart mouthed guy who doesn't shut up.
"GREAT ASS" - Which misgiving the viewer the overall tone for the movie, an adventure along side a comedic super hero. The placement of the title also draws attention to is behind making the joke more noticeable.
The white background and is good because you can see the titles and the main character clearly, the colour white is also a connotation of a good guy or hero. However when you look at Deadpool with his Red and Black suit you will then question if he is in fact a hero or a villain, and to answer this question you'll have to see the film.
The way Deadpool is holding his holstered gun represents him as violent but in contrast he wears a black backpack with pink highlights saying he's some what childish and the way he's got his finger in front of his face makes him seem weirdly cute or charming.

IDEAS - ANIMATION

Animation is a very useful top for film making as you can literally do what ever you want with it, however we don't have access to any high quality himation software as they are mostly out of our price range. The extent of 'animation' for our film will have to be things like stills of small tweaks to create some minor effects.
But we'll have to wait until we've finished the basic stages of editing in order to actually start adding animation.
unfortunately though we have so little time left we might not be able to do it at all.

Research and Planning

Research for an action comedy

Acton movies nowadays usually have some comedy in them anyway, but movies that are action comedies have a good balance between the two.

Deadpool was a one big slapstick movie where its action lead to comedy and the main character would also tell small jokes or make comments towards the audience which got a good laugh.

Movies like London/Olympus has fallen are movies packed to the brim with action but have some funny lines in the movie which as well as make a comedic atmosphere show off the main character as a sort of badass.

Hot Fuzz is a good example of an action comedy as the main character is so good at what he does its funny, the side characters he meets are funny too because they make the main look even more unbelievably perfect in comparison. The action scenes near the end were also good as the would use the tropes of "defeating an enemy and delivering a small cuss to poor salt on the wound".

22 Jump Street had some great moments using the main characters bromance as a sort of catalyst for jokes.

Johnny English was another good movie for its comedy, the bumbling secret agent archetype was a great choir for that inns of movie, leaving an important task in the hands of an imbecile.
