My Poster

I made my own draft of the reprisal poster, once again experimenting and practising on photoshop. The photos Nick took of our main female character Stephanie turned out amazingly well. I chose my favourite which was one of her with her hood up and with tears in her eyes where she had been crying. I then cut the photo in a lightening bolt shape, which i chose the signify the anger within the film of the characters, making sure to include her eyes in the shape as they are the most effective part of the photo and show alot of emotion. I wanted the overall poster to look simplistic and placid as this would fit with the thriller/mystery feel. I chose black to be the background colour as this is a typical colour for this genre, and it is very contrasting against the white. All of the text is in the same font, emphasizing furthermore the simplistic theme. The movie title is placed at the top and in the largest font because it is the most important piece of information on the poster. I rotated the tagline, making it fit along the lines of the lightening bolt, adding some intersting composition and angles. The actors names are fit into the other side of the lighening bolt, as well as some vital production information at the bottom of the poster in the smallest font.
