Poster development.

We have taken some pictures and got a feel for the lighting as we want the subject of the photo to be clearly visible and the picture to be of a good standard. We felt that some of our images were too dark and editing them would effect the quality of the images. The result of this was that we retook the photos and managed to get the two effective character shots. The photo shoot gave us the idea to have 'Chase' leaning on the title of our movie. Not only would this be attractive to the eye, but it would also give a feel for his character. Furthermore having 'Cindy' slightly slanted against the 'V' of our title works really well too. 


As a group we had to look for the official font used for posters so we had to search on the internet and find it and then add it to our project, we also had a problem using the exact same font as the font used in our trailer as this was an edited font on the program live type so it was not easy to replicate so we had to find a font similar to this font this worked quite well but we as a group know that we should have picked a font to remain complete synergy throughout or film.


After much drama, we came to the decision creating a heart out of images was not going to work. The result we were hoping to get was not up to our expectations so we decided to scrap this idea. Instead, we decided to use the text with the two main characters as our main statement across our poster. In doing so we decided to make our poster landscape. Along with this we decided to use a film strip across the top of our  poster which would show the development of the characters' relationship. 


Our final idea was to make our poster more interesting and display our theme of love by using the outline of small red hearts on our background. This fitted in with the theme of our poster and presented the originality we were aiming to illustrate. The hearts also hint on what is to come in the film.
