Introduction

In our group we will be creating the poster to promote the school play which will be the Little Shop of HORRORS. Along with the poster we also have to create flyers to post all around, the school and tickets which will also help to advertise the show. The ticket we are selling for the shows it’s about £2.00. When selling the ticket on the poster we should also put the details of the legal owners of the name for copy right reasons.

“There were some scary parts but the songs were amazing.”

“”The background was very amazing especially the massive plant.”

“I wish I had known it was going to be that good, I would have auditioned for a part in it.” 

Evaluation

What I have learned from this task I can be more extremely hard at time to meet the deadlines on complex tasks such as creating the entire set and getting all the appropriate things needed for the show to make it more successful.

I feel like I have a much better understanding of kind of work that goes on behind the scenes how ever it can make the show a successful.

My role in the show was to make many leaf for the massive plants otherwise the massive plants would be uncompleted. How ever I had also another role which was to write down all the legal considerations which had to be put down on every poster. All we made or on every piece of advert we made for the show to make it successful.
