Final Film Poster

Now that we have finished our poster, I am pleased with the outcome. At first we were going to have the chess as a solid object, but by making it more transparent, it adds the effect that there's something weird about the chess and because it blends into her face, which works well because we know that it is going to be effecting her life and gives the impression that the chess might even be in her mind. This should draw the audience in as there is still the attraction of a female actress, but she also looks quite haunted, but also not very scared, as if she is about to put up a fight against what ever it is that's going to happen to her. 

I am happy with the choice to keep the poster in black and white as it also adds to the mood of the main character and genre of the film. This colour scheme does also link with our magazine cover, and the blood red colour of the title and due date of the film stands out against the greys, blacks and whites and also suggests danger, which also links with the genre of our film. We chose to use this font because it is bold and also is quite sophisticated which chess sometimes has connotations of. We did consider using a font that was slightly more picturesque but we decided that this would add too much detail to the poster, and we wanted the main pictures to stand out against everything else.

In terms of creating a different sort of poster, we didn't really have any ideas because when we came up with this, we all really liked the idea. We have developed it a bit as before, one side of her face was meant to be more dark than it is, and also as I said above, the chess was going to be solid. This poster works better though as it looks more professional and also has more depth to it. However, I don't think that our billing block looks as professional as it could, as the text, although in the same font as the title of our film, doesn't look like a proper billing block and in places the text could have been closer together.
