Poster Ideas


this first slide shows the font of the Title, tag line and the billing block. We did these first on a separate slide so we can make sure that all the fonts fitted together well which means the colour had to be the same and the billing block involved what we wanted. Viewing these on a black background meant it was easier t notice any errors for the billing block. It took up a lot of time to place things where we wanted. 

This first idea was our main idea, we wanted to to emphasis the main character is being chased and that it is a struggle. We did this by placing the shot looking down a hill onto the main character, climbing towards the camera; with the antagonists in the background. A con of this poster is that the protagonists hands are missing from the shot which just looks like a typical photo. the photograph has also been blocked which means there is a black gap on the top and bottom of it. 



This is our second draft. We have decided to take the picture in a different location This time to show that the main character has fallen over, this also emphasises her struggle which trying to escape from the antagonists. We have swapped the positioning of the title and tag line. This way it helps to show graces face more. We also made the colour of the billing blocks font; to a darker colour, yet not too dark so we cant see the writing. We did this to relate back to the idea of the film being set in the woods. Again, a con of this poster is that we can only see half of the main characters body, this had to be done because we wanted to get all of the antagonists bodies in the shot. To improve we needed to place the two characters at the back further away, and angle the camera differently. 

Here is the third poster idea. The angle of the camera has provided a better shot of the three figures in the photo. This is what we wanted. We have changed the title and tag line back to the original place and by taking the pictures on a different camera it has taken away the block shape of the picture, yet there is still some black... waste of paper space.

 This is our final poster piece.  we have considered all of the problems we have faced with the other poster ideas. No matter what camera we used, the shape of the picture was still blocked, so to overcome this we darkened the whole picture and let the lighting focus on the main character which makes only two black figures in the background. This   clarifies to the audience who the main character is, and makes the two antagonists in the background anonymous. The darkness also emphasises on the lack of lighting due to the fact the film set in a wooded area with only natural light, the lack of light helps to set the mood of the film aswell, and by injecting an impression of a man hunt into the audiences opinion.
