3 Film Poster Drafts

After studying other film posters of my genre, I was inspired that my poster should be in a rural setting as my entire short film is set outside. I will also have my actors in the clothes used in filming due to continuity reasons. It is most likely that I will shoot the image used on my poster on location alongside my film to make sure they look the same but also to ensure the backgrounds are the same.

All drafts, in my opinion, will be equally as fitting for my genre and short film as the other. However, I particularly like the layout of Option 1 as I feel it conveys the dynamics of my characters relations very well and would entice a possible audience member to find out more. I also like Option 1 because, if well edited, it will be aesthetically pleasing with bright dark browns and greens to contrast my actors clothing

Option 2 would be equally as aesthetically pleasing due to the use of dramatic silhouettes and nature surrounding them. Also, as they are all walking in the same direction, there is a sense of mystery and wonder as to where they are going. If I do go with this layout, I will ensure that my female protagonist is leading the men to show that she is the leader and cause of the drama within the piece.

Option 3 is possibly my least favourite as it seems, to me, as if the characters are too static and separate. Bearing in mind that the period drama is about deep character relations, this kind of poster feels false and too far away from my genre’s tendencies.
