Drafting and planning

This is a first official draft of my poster. I experimented with the cover star images in my rough layout drafting of my magazine in this blog but i intend to use these images for the poster primarily and maybe take different images for the magazine so it better conforms to the conventions of a cover star

I cropped and added darkening effects so the sky was a darker more ominous color and the dark shadows and dark foliage were prominent to add to the ambiguity of the poster, reflecting the mood of the trailer.

I followed my original rough draft so i could fulfill the ideas i came up with, for example the intimidating and ambiguous half-face of the antagonist looking over the scene in a position of power.https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3664132413503481447#editor/target=post;postID=7300003465690443908;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=13;src=postname

I ensured the tag lines matched the house colours of the posters and selected a font that was spaced out but bold and defined. I also tried challenging a convention of trailers, by rotating the title, which i thought was a cool effect as it slightly disorientates the viewers and adds to the ambiguity of the poster, reflecting its uniqueness and the non-mainstream approach of the film on the whole

However I think I may have to drain some of the colour from the background and maybe change the font and its colour to make it as serious as possible
