I started my poster using a photo I had taken whilst filming, the purpose of this is that my actress was in costume and the photo would be more likely to reflect the atmosphere of the film itself.
I removed the background of the picture on Photoshop as to make sure Farah would be the main focus of the poster.
I added a black background to the picture as I felt it added drama to the poster and made Farah look powerful and mysterious.
I add my title and using Steeltongs created a list of credits at the bottom of the poster, this made it look more professional and added the 'attention to detail' aspect to the poster.
I blend the picture to the background more to make it look more professional and played with the colours of the picture itself. I decided to chose a more unusual style of title because I felt the poster gave little away about the plot. I made the title into a definition of 'Compulsion' as the word is unfamiliar to many people, especially among my relatively young target audience. The definition also makes the audience ask questions such as "Who is she?" and "What is the relation between her and the definition?". I also felt that it made the poster more memorable.
I feel my poster will be successful with my target audience as it is ominous- this automatically appeals to fans of thriller. The definition is unique and gives a lot away about the storyline and character, which may encourage people to watch the film.
