Mock up film poster ideas

 

 

 

 

 1-This is our first idea of our film poster. It based on the public enemies film poster. We like the idea of it having the main protaginist in the middle of the screen with his suit and giving the idea of being maybe in control and makes you think of who this character is and what he is about. Also instead of the american building the idea of a plain dark wall behind was better and it made a better impact on the main character as the background came across as quite distracting in the public enemies but also could give too much away about the film as we wanted ours to be really quite mysterious and nothing to be given away.

 

 

2-This is another idea based on our trailer.The background being in the street like a typical film noir is based. This time we involved the femme fetal as well, but the characters are on opposites sides of the street to suggest the feeling that they don't know each other which could suggest what thoughts about the film and create curiosity. Also we have the street lights, which will be bright and react with the dark scenery around making an impact as it will be based on a night time scene.  We looked at the film poster inception, our idea isn't much like this one but we liked the idea of the street and the dark misty background and the small amount of lighting but then with the film name being in a contrasting colour, being red connoting evil which could be foreshadowing whats to come in the film. You don't really get what the movie is going to be about from this poster, but from the pull quote ''the dream is real'' it then gives you some sort of idea to whats its going to be about and makes you curious.  

3- For another idea again we choose the format of landscape as it's different but also went better with what was going on in the poster. With our film being called flashbacks we wanted to show the thought of flashbacks in our poster. We seen the white stripes- seven nation army music video and seen the repeition of a triangle and faces appearing and really liked the thought of this and then looked at the girl with the dragon tattoo film poster as it had the two faces close to each other and we liked that aswell as an influence. so we came up with this idea, of the triangle in the middle then with our shadow appearence from the 'A' and then the two faces of the two protaginists faces coming from the triangle. The lighting will also be quite similar as well as we want a dark background and the characters relativly dark and shadowed too linking to the film noir theme but then in the middle be bright but then the actuall shadowed person in the middle to be a dark shadow standing out.  






 

 

This last option will be our chosen idea for our film poster, it links most to the film title with the flashbacks and the different layers. It also involves a few different influences therefore we could mess around with it to find different ways but also the best way to show our film using colour, layout and the actual pitcutre.


This is a voxpop of our focus group when we presented our film poster chosen ideas. The rest of the class gave valuable feedback in which we have took into account and then continued to make our film poster better. Someone said that from our film poster ideas they couldnt  tell what the film was overall going to be about,it give you a few ideas but in response we said that we didn;t want our trailer to give much away and so there is alot of mystery within it and so will make you curious and want to go and see it, which also follow the convenions of a film noir.
Also it was suggested that we should move the format of the film title to down the bottom from this we choose to involve the traiangle in the middle of the page to became the A within 'flashbacks' we really like this idea and will involve it in our next draft.
