PLANNING: INITIAL IDEA FOR FILM POSTER

I have been mentally brainstorming an idea for my film poster ever since we finished our initial ideas for the film trailer. As one of our main characters is a very mysterious man who is inherently sinister I decided that he would be the main subject of my poster. 

My idea is to have Ular in the centre of the poster with his sunglasses on the tip of his nose, snake designed contact lenses in and scowling at the camera with an evil smile on his face. I will then edited in different screenshots from the trailer around him and in the lenses of the glasses will have profile shots of Adam and Eve.

I think that this idea will be hard to pull off as the editing will be very difficult to make sure that I do not overload it with different images and that the images don't look out of place. But I look forward to this challenge as I really enjoy editing and expanding my skills as an editor and this task will give me a great chance to improve.

Here are two examples of a similar design to what I hope to achieve.

Although neither of these two films are related to my film trailer whatsoever, these poster have a similar look to what I want my poster to look like. The Ferris Bueller's Day Off poster works best to try and show of how I want Ular to look in the poster and the positioning of his glasses, but the poster for Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain is a great example of the angle I want to take the picture.

  1. For this to be really useful, you would need to offer the reader the images under discussion as well as try to put into words what you were hoping to achieve.
