Make a guess which is the official New Moon movie poster...
-
The answer is the second from the top. That is the official New Moon movie poster released by Summit Entertainment. The other 5 are merely fan-made.
-
My opinion?
-
The official poster looks nice but I have no love for it. For one, it looks too photo-shopped to be any good. It's either that or the quantity and quality of make-up used. I do love the sepia tones for it though.
-
The 3 main characters stances are clear. However, they should positioned Robert Pattinson the other way, showing that he's leaving. I like the protective embrace of Taylor Lautner around Kristen Steward.
-
One main peeve is that Kristen Steward's face is not showing any emotion! She could at least be upset or embrace Taylor back. Some people argued that she's in the zombie-stage, therefore no emotions are shown.
-
My opinion can be based on other people's analysis of the poster and their reactions to it. So, in the event that most reactions are great, my review may changed according. I can be easily swayed by the comments people make.
-
Other than the official poster, I've put up 5 fan-made posters that deserves the recognition. It's hard to choose a favourite because I love every single one! Each of them can seriously be official instead. Their photo-shop skills are really great and the results are beautiful. The fans have to deal with limited photos to make something that convey the message of New Moon.
-
I have a soft spot for number 4 and 5.
-
However, many fans and I may be bias with the posters. Naturally, our expectations in the "real deal" is much higher than for fan-made posters. The company has the means and resources to do what they can and they come up with this? Whilst, the fans are not that professional and they can come up with something beautiful.
-
Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do photo-shop. I'm not good at it so I had to make do with whatever is in my league. Therefore, I envy those who can come up with these. Sigh.
