The layout that im going for this is not what you would consider a bog standard poster, i want to have something that reflects that of my work which is a collection of different genres all harmonising into one which is where i came up with this idea of having this layout featured as my main auxiliary poster.
Main Image x3- The reason behind me using 3 images as my overall main image is to bring light to the fact that my work isn't something that you see everyday and that the poster and magazine cover should tell you that if you haven't seen the trailer, a good clever witty poster can bring attention to the actually film itself. The three images will feature my main character in three distinct poses that all reflect parts of his personality at different stages of his life, so i will have an image where he is wearing his mask as hat is the earliest representation of him in my film, to then him looking sort of depressed to represent him during his denial stage of his life, to which then leads to where he is now so i need an image of him looking sort of crazy maybe a smirk of some kind. The final image should be in the middle of the poster and should be in front of the other images to tell the audience that this is the best representation of what he looks like in the present and also the most important stage of his life as my entire film will be focused on this part of his life.
Film Title- My font has already been chosen for my title as mentioned in a previous blog post, the Gloucester MT Extra Condensed font chosen is a very unique style of font that im hoping will give my work an identity that will exceed past my film itself and will stick in peoples heads. To keep with similar codes and conventions i am going to place the title in the middle of the page just below my centred main image as it coincides with the image and will lead to some interesting interpretations for anyone looking at the poster.
Actors Name- To keep up with the level of professionalism that my work has i am going to put the main actors name above the film title to make sure that it looks like something you would see for an actual movie poster. I also believe doing this that the actors name will make the film title seem like it is in the right place as without the actors name i feel like something is missing.
Credit Box- As with every movie poster my poster will feature accredit box that features the production studio, the director, the producer and actors etc. I am following set codes and conventions that have been used for pretty much every movie poster i have seen hence why the credit box is right at the bottom.
