Before and afterwards

Here is the second version of the poster as it was on the website being used to create it, after taking in some audience feedback some changes were suggested to help improve, for example:

• The BBC films logo being increased in size so that the audience could regonise a familar company
• The text below the title could be increased in size
• The centre image could be expanded height wise to fill some of the black void, this also goes for the bottom right image as well.

Here is the improved version of the poster, not a bad piece if I do say so myself.

Poster

 The text below the title will follow the normal convention of movie posters in the landscape format in that actor names, film companies etc will be included with the connecting text like 'and' being in a smaller font size.
Because it is a small, independent film the companies backing the film could be the lottery fund, however with it being an online film the support will come from places like YouTube who are known to back films.
 However if it was to go to TV then the backers would most likely change to channels like the BBC or ITV who support public projects and independent films, for example Last Passenger (2013).








Here is a test example of the poster creating using: http://www.postermywall.com/index.php/posterbuilder


The poster above is an example of how mine will conform to the text convention and also having a main character on the poster. However mine will break the normal convention by having multiple segments from the film on the poster, however the audience will not know where from the film these scenes are from.
The scenes have been laid out in way that is visually engaging to the audience, by using the rules of thirds where the poster is broken into three sections width wise I have laid out the scenes used in chronological order from top right to bottom left, however this will most likely change in the final poster because of the way Western audiences read texts left to right.
The copyright and film company logos will be in the corner not taken by a image at the bottom and will be small and not visually striking as you don't want the audience being draw to the company's and not the actual 'meat' of the poster.
