MOVIE POSTER BOOK REPORT PROJECT
Project Description: For this book report you will be required to create a movie poster based on the book you have read. Imagine your book is being made into a movie and you are in charge of advertising! You will be graded on your creativity, attention to detail, as well as the information that you provide. The poster will be presented in class and explained. It should look like a movie poster that you see in the theatres—informative and interesting to the viewer.
Project Requirements:
Must be created on a poster paper or poster board. Use different types of art supplies for your poster (marker, paint, glitter, color pencils, crayons, etc.). Be creative!
Title of novel must be in large writing and should stand out on your movie poster.
The author’s name will appear on the poster as the director.
Your name will appear on the poster as the producer.
A major illustration or collage should be the focus of your poster. It should give the audience a good idea of the setting & a major plot element (significant scene) of the novel. DO NOT COPY THE BOOK COVER!
A minimum of TWO quotes shall be incorporated on the poster.
The main characters of the novel will be the “cast” in your “movie”. Choose famous movie stars or television stars and “cast” them in the different character roles for your “movie”. The “stars” of your “movie” should be named on your poster (you may print or cut out pictures of these actors if you wish, but not required).
The movie poster must have a Tag Line that interests the audience and describes the basic plot/theme of the movie. (For example: Shrek used “The greatest fairy tale never told” and Charlotte’s Web used “Help is coming from above”)
A rating of the novel must be on the poster. Example:
Recommended for the movie fan seeking a suspenseful and exciting adventure!
OR
Not recommended for the movie fan that hopes to be entertained and thrilled.
