I have been thinking a lot about how I can make my film poster as dramatic as possible without having it look overcrowded or complicated and sticking to the typical conventions of a poster. I think that the film posters look best when they are simplistic, rather than really busy.
So, as a rough idea for what I want my film poster to look like, is similar to the one of Train Spotting as I really like the simplistic layout of the characters and the way that all of the information necessary is there without looking like it it too much crammed onto one poster.
I like the idea of having a line of colour (blue for my poster - fitting with the forget me not flower) for the title to go on, like the orange on the poster above. My poster will have directors billing in small small print at the bottom which will have actors names, directors name, the production company name etc. This will help audiences get an understanding of who is in the film, however is in small font as it isn't one of the main things viewers tend to look at first but only when digging for more information. I don't want to put actors names obviously on the film poster as I want it to look as simplistic as possible so putting the actors names at the bottom still fills in the audience but not obviously. I also only want to use the main protagonist on my poster rather than the lead male who features in the trailer as well, however I still want to use the same layout as trainspotting so plan to use Photoshop to overlay the protagonist on the poster more than once, relating to her confused, disorientated thoughts and memories.
