Day 10.9.1: Planning - Movie Poster Design Concept/Sketch §1

This movie poster is based highly upon my design brief, it contains the two main characters at either side of the poster, using them to frame the main optical focus of the poster. This also allows for the actors to be seen easily  without having one of them be the main focus of the poster as they are both the main actors.
      The centre of the poster contains a Police Station, this is relevant as the police station can be seen within the trailer of the film and it allows for the audience viewing the poster to instantly recognise that the poster is of a crime film, as police stations are blatantly with crime.
     The title of the film is located at the top of the poster, this allows it to be the first thing that the audience sees when viewing the poster and will be instantly recognised if seen anywhere else. The title of the movie is subject to change as I have still not fully decided upon a title for the film that I am creating.
    Conventionally I included the names of the two main actors above their models allowing for them to be recognised easily and audiences who have seen them in other films can relate and be attracted to this movie more easily than if the names were not apparent.
    Unconventionally I did not include a release date or notes at the bottom of the Movie Poster, this could be an error on my side as I included them within my notes stating that they are important. If I plan on using this design poster I will include a release date and notes under the two actors and police station.
    Although not apparent in the poster as it is Black & White, I will be using a blue and white colour scheme with this design, as this is easily related to the police force and protection, this will also aid the viewer of the poster in knowing what the film is based upon.
   The fonts used on the Movie Poster will be the fonts from the band creating the soundtrack for the trailer of the film, this will allow me to easily relate and be recognised by the listeners of that genre of music, this will also increase the audience of who will be interested within the film.
