Potential Poster Images

During the post-production of our second draft, I decided to look at different poster images for our film.  I went through our first draft and picked out my favourite shots and the ones that would be suitable for promoting our film.  The image we choose will also be the image we use for our review page.  

Image one

This is the title image of our first draft.  It is very eye catching, and visually captivating.  I think this would be a good image to grab the attention of passers by.  It introduces the techniques of bokeh, and the genre of experimental film.  However, I don't think that the image allows much space for text.  I will try experimenting with text on this image.  This maybe a good image to use in the review page.  

Image 2

Although this image shows how we are experimenting with manipulating the lights into different shapes and it will intrigue our audiences to find out about the techniques used in the film, it doesn't quite show the theme that we are trying to present.  We are focusing on the theme of travel and journey's whether that be alone or together, whereas this image implies togetherness.  

Image 3

I find this image really captivating because of the mix of colours and how they merge together.  It also shows the experimentation of bokeh, and the techniques we will use in the film.  

We want to involve our target audience as much as possible in the development of our film.  I posted these images on facebook, and asked people to chose which ones they preferred and why.  

This is what they said about each image:

Image 1

• "I love this one!  I'm not sure what I love more about it, the texture and contrast of all the different colours inside the one shape or just the pure simplistic nature of it! I love how all the colours look so complete next to each other!  Great job!!"  - Ben Cockram, aged 18

Image 2

• "This one is more interesting and the audience can connect to it more!" - Nicola Tee, aged 18
• "This one due to its reference to the audience" - Sophia, aged 17

Image 1 was more popular than the other images with our target audience, meaning that this image is more captivating than the others.  However, others said that image 2 would be more connecting to the audience.  We  decided to go with the most popular image and use image 1 for our poster, and image 1&2 in the review.
