Final Poster

Final Poster

For my final poster design I chose to have the main character of the film in the foreground to capture the attention of the audience, I also decided to have his back facing the audience so that it builds up enigma as you are nit able to see the character's face, therefore he is seen to be mysterious.
In the background I chose to have woodland as the main setting for the film is in a woodland, I reduced the saturation of the poster also to make it closer to the saturation of the trailer product. Also in the background I chose to have a plane flying over that was smoking in order to create a sense of danger, the image was on that I took at an airshow. I used this image as I found it to be effective in creating a sense of danger.

I also edited in some smoke emerging from different locations to create a further sense of danger, but to also make the poster seem more action-packed as opposed to a more plain background. I think that the smoke allows the audience to speculate what happened and to determine what happened to cause the smoke.

There is also text on my poster, the main part of the text is the title for the film. I 'weathered' the title of the film to give it an aged and damaged look, so that it makes the genre of my film more clear, the typeface that I chose also sticks to the conventions of the genre as they are big and blocky, giving it a military-like appearance, therefore showing the genre of my product. The other text is a 'catch-line' which allows the audience to interpret the main premise and plot of the film that the poster is presenting.
