FM+Extremities

__ Extremities __ Poster 1: I would choose Poster 1 because the viewers would know what the play concerns. Each of the newspaper clips have some writing that relates to the play in some way. For example, “Home invasions becoming more frequent” and “serial rapist on the loose” relate to play because the play concerns a home invasion by a serial rapist. Also, I think these strips of newspaper are interesting to read, and may make the viewer look at the poster more carefully and longer. In the other posters, one can’t tell what the play may be about except that it may be a serious, no comedy play. The black and white of the poster shows that this is not a fun, comical play. If it was colorful, then one would assume that the play is going to a happy play. .The newspaper clippings on this poster also show what audience will be able to view it. The viewers can know that it’s more PG-13 rated or above.

Some more things that can be added to the poster can be the crew and cast of the play. People who look at the poster might know or heard of someone from the crew or cast, so that might influence them to go watch the play. Also the prices of the tickets should be available on the poster. Also, to make the play more known to people, they can advertise the play in newspapers or possibly on local channels on TV.
