Plan of Our Poster

With the title of our film decided we felt that we could do a first draft of our poster. We each had done research on thriller posters so we knew what type of style is needed to represent our genre so we tried to use these conventions as well as new ideas of our own to make it different. We created the plan using Powerpoint and used images from the internet to help us visulise what the poster will look like, obviously we will take our own photographs for our final poster. This is what we created as a group and howour plan looks at the moment:

                                       

As you can see we have use the common colour balck and white and have carried through this idea of chess fro the title by including the chess piece. Our idea is to cast a shadow on one side of the actresses face which gives a sense of danger and the chaacter being scared and alomst as if she is hiding. When we take our photogrpahs we are planning on have our actress looking upset but smudging make up to look as if she has been crying to show her distress. We think it will also make the audience sympathise with her and maybe shock them to see the character looking so upset. We are going to include a billing block at the bottom of the poster as we noticed this a typical convention of film posters. We also are going to add the name of our actress maybe along the top of he poster but we didnt add this yet as we still havent chosen from our friends who we think will fit best into our genre.

We also tested out different fonts for our title using the website 'Dafont'. We had five different styles and from these we decided on the one we have out in our plan.

We felt that some of the others were slightly to complex with too much deatil to them as we fond from our research that they are usually kept quite simple. However even though we have decided that we would like to use a font like this it might change slightly as this is from the website and for our plan we did a print screen and its very good quality. This is change that we might have to do to our poster.
