Preliminary Task- The Poster

I chose this style of poster as I feel it sets the atmosphere of the film. The picture shows the character as the central focus yet a lot around them, suggesting the film is mostly about the characters thoughts and feelings, how they have gotten to where they are, the significance of the setting etc. 


When taking the picture I wanted my character to be slightly off centre, this would allow for writing and reduce the risk of the poster looking over crowded. I wanted to show the setting and contrast the blueness of the sky to the thick, dark cloud just above us. I thought it was really important to involve as much scenery as possible, as it is key to the characters story and the atmosphere of the film as a whole


I edited the photo to a higher contrast so the dark cloud above the character is more obvious, I set a slight blue tint and lowered the saturation to give a more early hours of the morning look to the photo. I also increased highlights and definition to give the picture an almost 'painted' effect. 


I think the poster represents not only the character well as she appears thoughtful and alone but also the atmosphere of the film has been well captured in the photo. I feel it will appeal to my target audience as the tag line suggests it is a love story and the character is contemplating. It shows the audience what they can expect from the character and what they can expect from the monologue.
