Final Film Poster.

This is our final film poster. I am personally very proud of it and like how we have edited it. The idea we had for our poster is not what it turned out to be in the end. Firstly we weren't going to make the checkmate opaque, we were just going to have it on half of Megan's face like shown on my photo shop post however after playing about a bit with the chess piece we found that we liked the chess opaque as it created a sort of ghostly feel to it. We wanted to be behind this so she is sort of hidden from view which makes her appear vulnerable. We still wanted our shot of Megan to be quite picturesque so the audience would be interested in what they saw on the poster and hopefully want to watch the film. We made sure the continuity of the fonts were the same on the billing block, title and title on our magazine cover. We opted to go for a blood red colour title so it would stand out and it matched our colour scheme on our magazine front cover. We decided to have our magazine cover black and white as we thought this was the most effective colour for it and it matched the whole checkmate chessboard theme. I compared this poster to other real posters and found that we included all the conventions they had put in, like the billing block, the date and the main actress at the top of the poster. The only thing we left out was a catchphrase, but we thought the poster was effective enough not to have one. I am overall very happy with the decisions we made for our poster and hope our trailer turns out just as good.
