Poster Draft 2 - Chloe McGlinchey & Hannah Sell

After a fair amount of experimenting with placement and colour this was coming up to be part of our final design. we still have to add a few more details to it such as a certificate and some newspaper or magazines reviews.

Poster Draft - Chloe McGlinchey and Hannah Sell

After discussions with Gareth and Matt; we decided on this to be our first poster draft. We as a group had wanted to create something like the Red Road poster which had been our main influence for this Ancillary task. The poster design was to be created to draw the audience in and focus on our main character of the short film with contrasting colours to make it more eye catching.

Image for Poster- Hannah & Chloe

This is the image we have decided to use for our poster. We are going to make it look like a shilloette like on the Red Road poster. We have not decided on background or text colour yet but we are going to put the tittle over his face like on the red road poster. We have decided to use this image as it was the best one out of the five photos we took.

Poster Ideas - Gareth Allen and Matt Bull

After having a few days to think about our poster design, we felt that the poster we had originally thought would be best for our film, seemed to have too much on the poster. Whilst looking through some different posters of films, we noticed the Red Road poster. This was a simple design and felt that it would be suitable for our poster. The image that there is on this poster is a silhouette of a woman that is in the film. This made us think that we could use the same style for our poster, and we could use either Matt or Gareth as the image on the poster.

Poster Influence - Chloe McGlinchey

The poster above of "Red Road" has been an influence to our own poster we are in the middle of producing. The reason for this is because of the style and conventions of the poster as a whole; the way the designer has layered the images and text works well together because of the use of colours that contrast against each other. The fact that they have decided to silhouette the characters face gives the audience a glance of the film being mysterious and eerie.

Decisions on Poster

(click image to enlarge)
From the four posters we have all produced, we have decided to pick certain parts from each poster and produce the main/final design from it.
We are going to use a image of the main character looking over their shoulder from the first idea, but instead of the background being of a scrapyard, we were going to change it so that we use a light source (possibly headlights) to highlight the characters expressions, which is a style used in some posters we have researched. We will also take the picture of the main character from different angles (side-on etc.) so we can see which is best for the design.

Individual Poster Design - Hannah Sell

This is my initial poster idea for our film. I wanted to emphasis the title of the film and the main point that our film is aiming to put across which is 'tiredness can kill'. The poster shows the tiredness can kill sign which appears in our film along with the tittle of the film over the top.

I have taken in account the story line and issues within our short film, i have come up with a simple yet effective poster design.

Individual Poster Design - Gareth Allen

This is my initial poster idea for our film poster.
I thought that with the poster it was going to be best if you could see the main character, but I thought that it would be best if you didn't see the whole of the character. This is why I chose to only show the back of the main character. I didn't however want to show from straight behind him, on at the side so I chose inbetween these two. I think that this creates a mysterious effect, which is what we are going for in the film.
The reson why I chose to set this picture on a road is because, our film has the theme about 'Tiredness Can Kill' when people are driving. I thought that it could be interesting to use just a straight road with no cars on it or pedestrains walking by it. This is implying that this character might be in a word of his own.

Individual Poster Design - Matt Bull

This is my individual design for our film poster.
I have taken into consideration the themes and issues within the story, and the overall genre it is trying to produce. The main genres for the film are social realism with some thriller tied in the storyline by adding a sense of tension and suspence.
The poster shows the scrapyard in the background as it is the main location for the film and where the mysterious events happen. Linking to the film title of "thr3e", 3 images are shown of the character causing confustion of the main character as a result of the lack of sleep. That is where the quote "tiredness can kill, take a break" is used as the tagline and message of the film, and appears in the film itself. As an addition, the inclusion of various awards and newspaper reviews are added.
By keeping the poster simple it targets our audience of 17+ who can drive and the issues behind it. The fact that the main character is looking behind is used to make the audience think why he is?
