poster development.

this is the most successful photo (that i've edited) and shall be using for my final poster.
this is an edited version of her lips. this is just another poster idea, nothing is final yet.
here i thought i try it landscape but i don't like it. i prefer the portrait version.

this is my first unedited photo for the poster.

DEVELOPMENT

Above i have sketched out a couple of ideas for the film promotion poster.

the feedback i got back so far is that the bottom one seems more successful and lures people in.

i will sketch some more ideas later on.

i've decided to call my film 'Vicious Lips' and above i have sketched out a few font ideas for the poster etc.

i then got feedback on them and number 5 seemed to be the most popular choice and i will be using that one in my final piece.

Number 4 was also very popular but i personally prefer number 5.

POSTER RESEARCH

before i start designing my poster to promote my film i thought i'd research some already existing ones, to see what works and what doesn't.

the colour red is apparent in the majority, connotations of blood etc.

there's a strong sense of mystery and confusion.

some portray a more violent side to vampires (there's two sides to them)

overall the images are dark and moody, i hope to recreate this theme in my poster.

Genre development

with the recent success of the Twilight saga, True Blood, Daybreakers and Being Human the exposure of the world of vampires are in high demand. So i thought as it's so popular, having my movie trailer being about vampires will attract a wide audience and will gain instant success.
