Day 10.9.2: Planning - Movie Poster Design Concept /Sketch §2

This poster is similar to the previous poster, with the two main actors being used as framing for the centre of the poster, although this time the centre focus of the movie poster is the criminal within the movie who is masked.
      Similar to the previous poster the two main actors contain their names above their head, this will allow for the audience to instantly relate to who the main actors are within the film.
      Unconventionally from a distance this poster does not look like a crime/comedy movie as the central focus of the film does not instantly relate to the genre that the film falls under, although when the viewer of the poster looks at the poster it is easily recognisable that the film is a crime comedy due to the name of the film and the attire of the two main actors of the film.
      Under the Optical Focus of the poster is a caption, this caption will be used as a quote from a trust able and reliable source, allowing for the movie to instantly appear in a good-light in the viewers eyes and appeal to a wider audience.
      The name of the movie above the Optical Focus is instantly related with crime, which is the genre of the film I am creating, the name in this design also depicts where the movie is set allowing the viewer to recognise the area and relate it to crime.*
      In this poster design I will be using  shadows greatly, I will shadow the mask as to appear mysterious and hidden so that the viewer of the magazine can instantly recognise that the mask is related to the criminal of the movie and it  does not seem out of place.
    For the colour scheme of this Poster I will be using, Blue, White and Black, this will allow me to easily use shadows within the poster as the black will be a primary part of the poster, but it will also allow me to use the colours that are easily related with the police force and protection so that the viewer can instantly recognise the genre of the film.
     The clothing choices on the Posters main actors will relate to how they act within the movie trailer, with Quinn being a more laid-back and "cool" undercover police officer, whereas Smith will be a more serious and professional undercover police officer & the audience can instantly recognise this.
 
Unlike the previous movie poster I included the release date and the notes of the movie, this allows for the last thing that the viewer sees of the poster to be related to the release date of the poster and something that they will remember about the poster. The notes upon the bottom of the poster will include the Directors, Actors and such of the film and will source them where necessary to give full credit to what has been used.

I believe that this poster is conventional as it follows the Rule of Thirds and the Gutenberg Diagram, this allows for the poster to be appealing for the audience, the poster is also conventionally because it flows with other Crime/Comedy posters in design and allows for the poster to establish its place within its chosen genre through the use of mystery of the mask as the criminal is not generally shown on the cover of Crime/Comedy magazines.

*The name of the movie is still not finally decided, though this is a highly rated choice of title for the movie.
