Our Poster!

Even though we decided we could release our poster in conjunction with our Opening Sequence, we changed our minds and have now decided releasing it before would be the best idea especially because this is how it works in the movie industry. By releasing it before our opening sequence it would "market" our movie, however because it is not a full movie and will not be seen by many but it is still a way to market our movie but also gives other people an insight of what our opening sequence will be about but also how our full story line would be if we were to make the whole movie.


We have analysed the poster in the same way that we analysed other psychological thrillers, in terms of pictures used, font used, positioning choices, effects put on poster and tag line use.



Pictures Used:
We decided on using three different pictures to show the three different characters in the movie. The two main pictures are of our two main actors portraying there characters. The main top image is the main focus of our poster as it is the biggest picture and is also striking. It shows the actor in distress looking towards something which is obviously a key element in the movie. We adjusted the original picture to look like this which can be seen in a separate post explaining how we did this on photoshop. Our second main image is of our child actor, it is actually a screen grab used from our opening sequence we decided that if we stretched the image and changed some of the colouring it would look more surreal and unrealistic. Our final picture is of our 3rd most important actor, we decided to put this picture of to the side and to make it seem as if the picture isn't even there. This follows our storyline as this character doesn't actually exist and it all part of the main characters mind. This helps give the audience clues into what the movie is about and why the character is all faded into the background.
Although from following our research only two pictures were used we though that by adding the final picture and blurring it out a lot it didn't really count but also its not what we wanted as the main focus.
