Our Poster Idea


This is the original poster idea which would have the two main characters at the top of the poster looking away from the camera to show they are worried and in a rush to look for the missing girl. The girl that gets kidnapped (Nikki who plays Brooke) is at the bottom of the poster as a silhouette under a spotlight like lighting through a keyhole as in the story synopsis the girls looking for ‘Brooke’ one of them look through the keyhole to see if she is in there but they see a different girl instead which isn't ‘Brooke’. The title in the middle is based on the poster from Taken as it makes the title stand out and makes the separation from the two different images. The colours scheme of dark blue, white and black was chosen for this as the majority of posters we have looked at have approx. 3 different colours which they have used in most of their different posters.

Due to issues with casting, we are having to change the top of the poster because we are only able to use 1 character which finds her as the previous people who agreed to participate in doing the role had backed out of it an hour before we had set to do the filming causing there to be issues with our set production schedule. However we have now got a permanent cast as we have the new replacement, the kidnapper and ‘Brooke’. Although the title of the film is also having to be changed as we researched the name to ensure that it wasn’t used already which doing the research we found out that it is a film which has already been released. We have a lot to reconsider however we are still able to keep the plan we have for the poster, just including changes and working around any issues which have already or could happen again.

  1. Some interesting and creative ideas here - the design is simple which is a good idea because you have thought very carefully about how to suggest elements of the storyline in a colour, or an image etc.

    Remember to justify choices made for your first draft through the use of analysis...why this font and what does it suggest? Why dark colours? What does the keyhole represent?
