ANCILLARY TASK DECONSTRUCTION 1

This film poster is for the 2001 film A Space Odyssey and although it is not an experimental film, the poster layout and form is very similar to what I have in mind for my film. I like the idea of using a kaleidoscope in my experimental film to reinforce symmetry and colour, and would possibly use a still from the clip as the poster background, so it is as bright and eye catching as the one above, with limited yet informative text in a bold colour. This example has only the title of the film, the slogan ("the ultimate trip") and a small piece of text at the bottom about the production. I'm not sure of a title for my film yet although I think it may be called "The Aesthetics Of Life" and if this is the case, I may have it bold and filling up most of the poster, with only a little bit of extra text, like the one above. 

I think the bright and colourful background will reinforce the creativity and experimental genre as well as intriguing the audience and also the colours all compliment each other - so it looks effective and vivid without looking childish. The font is quite simple, so you can read it despite the rather hectic background, which I will have to keep in mind if I use the idea of a kaleidoscope background.
