First Draft of the Poster

Even though Sarah did the research and planning for film posters, I made the film poster while the other's worked on finishing the trailer. I was able to do this as Sarah's research enabled me to understand the codes and conventions of romantic drama film posters. We made this decision as our deadline was soon as we didn't give our selves enough time to be able to finish all of it as a group. 



This is the title and the release date I put on the poster. Making the title fit in with the films genre was a struggle as I couldn't find the right colors. However, in the logo-studio in SerifPagePlusX7 where I made the poster, I was able to mix colors to give it almost a mystical look; but by adding in a harsh black shadow and outline, I still managed to keep it a bit more serious to add to the drama aspect of the movie. 


This is the first draft of the poster. The image we decided to use is effective because of the way she's holding his tie. It highlights the romantic lust in the movie as it implies she "wants him". I added the white fog to the bottom on a site called iPiccy as it allowed me to overlay the hard colors at the bottom of the original picture so the title, release date, small print and logo would be more visible.
