Melody / S.W.A.L.K.

Fantastic piece of cinema history being the debut script by Alan Parker making the most of the Bee Gees songs purchased by David Puttnam and incorporated in this charming South London Comprehensive. Friendships are tested with the arrival of the pretty Tracy Hyde. The film poster is overprinted with the screening details and venue together with the small and perfectly placed sticker "Formerly "Melody"" The compositon is a clever and engaging photographic montage with the magical Titling. Modern film poster designers would do well to study this one as it clearly demonstrates how to design a film poster. Photos are utilised well. Many modern designs do not attempt to place photos in context, preferring the easy option as a matter of routine, adopting the two star headshot with little else.
