Film Poster Initial Variations

Here are two initial variations I did of my film poster:

Version 1:

This first version looks very nice, but it has a lot of blank space. To improve this I could either add text to the top of the image or change the background of the poster.

Version 2:

This second version of the poster didn't come out very well. The main issue that I had was cropping the white background from the image. I accidentally did it poorly and therefore the character has sections of his face and body missing. I shall need to change this if I am to improve it or even have it qualify as a proper film poster.

Film Merchandise

The majority of films these days tend to have a variety of merchandise associated with them. This merchandise can include a large range of different things such as clothing, toys, cups, posters and more. I believe that clothing would be the primary piece of merchandise that would be associated with Dyers List if it were a real film. Therefore I created a mock-up of a possible shirt design for the film, using a design that my fellow group member Joseph Inns created and the website shirtmockup.com. Most of the merchandise associated with the film would contain either Jason Dyer or Rory Macbride as they are the two primary characters in the film.

Final Magazine Cover

This is the final version of my magazine cover. The magazine that I chose to use for my work was ‘Little White Lies’. I believe that I was able to successfully capture the nature of the magazine by following its codes and conventions. I was able to make a number of improvements to my work due to peoples feedback and my own personal research.

Magazine Cover First Draft

This is the first draft of my magazine cover. I have chosen Little White Lies as the magazine that the film is to feature on. I chose Little White Lies as their covers are generally simplistic, yet highly stylised. I felt that this would allow me far more creative freedom than other magazines such as Empire and Total Film would have. In addition to this I felt I would be able to focus far more so on the promotional image since I would not need to worry about the content of the text included on the page.

Unfortunately I felt that I did an extremely bad job on the image, even for a first draft. I feel that my main issue was attempting to simply add filters and effects to a photograph rather than drawing a picture of the main character (the standard convention of the magazine). The image of the model was poorly cut out and clashed with the background, thus giving the impression that it was done by an artist that had very little experience. I am therefore very unhappy with the design and plan on redoing it completely.
