Film Poster Design Draft
This is the first complete draft for out film poster. As you
can see it is not 100% complete as there are a few things that are we are
debating on, such as whether or not to change them or not, those things include
the position of the film title, the colour of the font both for the font itself
and the colour of the crown logo an. We are also questioning whether to return
the image in the background to colour but that is going to take a little
thought.
Brief evaluation and decisions for the draft poster as it is
now:
One of the main questions is why does the character have
their back facing us, and that is the exact reason, it raises questions. We have
done this as it promotes curiosity in the audience and will hopefully result in
them watching the trailer and ultimately, watching the film. The second reason
is because of the nature of the character. The character in the film is a
stealthy and extremely skilled survivalist (at least by the end of the film he
is) and this poster with the characters back facing away from the audience
helps to promote the stealth side of the character, not having his face visible
helps to do this as well.
The logo and font colour was chosen as it is the same colour
used in the revenue and customs logo. As this is a British film we decided that
using the logo and colour from HM revenue and customs would help the audience
identify that the film is completely British. We has abbreviated Her Majesty's
to HM which is also a direct link to the British revenue and customs, but the
actual name of the film is the full 'Her Majesty's Wasteland', This
abbreviation might also park the curiosity of the audience who don't already
know what it means, which will hopefully lead them to the trailer for the film
after they have found out what HM means.
You may notice that the clouds are the only part of the
background image that is in colour. This is because it is supposed to represent
the chemical war that left Britain in the mess that is shown in the film,
however this will be hard to identify to without watching the trailer or
reading the synopsis of the film.
The text at the bottom of the poster is the institutional
information and some of the main credits for the film, typical of many film
posters.
