Movie Poster Project

Movie Poster Project

Project: You have been hired to create a MOVIE POSTER (12" x 18" MINIMUM) for the FILM VERSION of the novel you've just read. It should be designed to get your audience wanting to see the film and read the book.

Design your project to look like an actual Poster, complete with: A New Cast of Actors (living or dead, from any time or culture) A proper Rating for the Film, based on the content of the novel A credit place with the director, writer, cast A Tagline (a hook to get your viewer interested--this can be a quote)

Consider, in your design: The Characters and their likeness The Tone and Mood of the novel The Symbols used in the novel The Theme that you want your viewer to grasp

You can use images from the internet, original drawings/designs, and/or a combination to make the poster look as realistic as possible.

Written Report, in proper MLA Format: Write out a review of the novel, including a BRIEF (one paragraph) summary (don't worry about plot spoilers, this is how you prove you've read the novel).

Choose one or two literary elements discussed in class (Theme, Mood, Characterization, Symbolism, Conflict) and write an analysis of how the novel uses that element. (MINIMUM 4 PARAGRAPHS and 4 QUOTES FROM THE NOVEL)

Write one paragraph explaining your poster and its design. Be specific in explaining what each element means. Do not just tell me how you made it; tell me how each part leads to a deeper understanding of the novel.

Include a proper MLA Citation of the novel, on its own page, titled Work Cited.

Penalties. (These CAN be compounded--added together)

1 Letter Grades (MINIMUM) will be taken off for: Each school day it is late No Rubric on Due Date Incorrect Title (Underlined when written; Italics when typed) (THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TITLE ON THE POSTER)

2 Letter Grades (MINIMUM) will be taken off for: Incorrect size poster (smaller than 12" x 18") No MLA Citation of the novel No Quotes were used in the Written Report Not Typed Not Printed, but emailed

? Credit, 50% (MINIMUM) will be taken off for: Using an image (even drawing) from an already made film based off the novel (or a novel in the "universe" of the story) Using a cast member (even if you are casting them in a different role) from a film version of the novel, or based off any novel in the "universe" Simply recreating the book's cover or art based off the book/characters (even fan art) that is not original

NO Credit will be given if: ANY portion is plagiarized (This applies to simply copying the book's cover or a movie poster already created) It is obvious that you did not read the novel
