Year 9 Media Studies

Today you will be researching ideas for a piece of work-the creation of a poster for an action/adventure film aimed at a teenage audience. Your task is to find at least twenty different examples of movie posters for action adventure films. Save the images in a folder and add them to a PowerPoint. Make sure they are all clear and of the same size on your page.  Categorise the posters in two ways: posters promoting films for a teenage audience posters promoting films for an adult audience Extension task: You will notice that some movies have multiple posters.  Choose a recent action/ adventure film and find as many posters for that film as you can.

Choose five areas of the Media that you like ( see my attempt for help ) . Within each area pick your five favourites.  Add a description/explanation/justification. Add images to illustrate. Print work out and stick in your exercise books.
