Poster Draft #2

Although we like the initial draft of our poster, we decided to make a second for some other ideas that we had. 



For this poster, we took the idea of using a shot from the film as our poster, which immediately puts the viewer in the middle of a scene and creates tension. This has been done for many famous films, such as Inception. 
We used the same font for the poster as we have done for the trailer and the website, which links them altogether, and creates a strong theme between them all. 

For the poster, we put the names of the three main actors at the top. This draws viewers in, as they may have seen them in something else and enjoyed it and want to watch this film (although our actors are not professional actors). This is usually done in big Hollywood blockbusters such as Les Misérables and The Aviator. 




However, there are some issues with this poster:

  1. Because this is a screenshot from the trailer, the image is not as good quality as it could have been if we had taken a photograph while we were filming. Although, we think that it is quite good, as the image gets larger, it becomes more pixelated and the quality drops.
  2. The 15 certificate as a black border around the edge which we could not get rid of, and neither could we find a version that did not have a background. Still, we don't think that it is too noticeable. 
  3. We also thought that is poster gave a bit too much away about the film. We think that the other poster created more curiosity from the audience as it gave less away.
