Poster Plans

Poster Draft

Here, I have displayed my plan for my poster for our film 'VIOLET'. The final product was created in Adobe Photoshop CS6, and was almost exactly the same as this plan. I knew almost exactly how I wanted my poster to look, which made the planning and the actual creation of my poster remarkably easy - and planning it by sketching it was the best way to keep my idea together in one place.

The main image is placed on the left of the poster in order to leave room on the right for the title, tagline, billing block, and release date. Above the main image is a list of the some of the actors in the film, which could potentially attract different viewers. I showed the film's title 'VIOLET' in a different way to show that it will be different and will stand out on the poster when it came to creating the actual product. Below the billing block is the release date, and below that and on either would the logos of several production companies. The main image on the poster would depict the antagonist of the film, and nothing else. I believe this could be a unique selling point as many other film posters show either the main character, the main character and an antagonist, or a group of several protagonists. Although there are a few which show only an antagonist, they are much less common.
