Landscape Vs Portrait
For 'What Lies Beneath's' film poster, both layouts were used showcasing the same image of the hand coming out the bathtub. However, for the portrait poster a faded image of the actors are shown, becoming the main view point of the poster. What our group would like to do is draw the audiences main view point to simply just one image, that image being our bathtub scene as it is the most memorable scene in our teaser trailer.

Inspirational landscape posters
This poster for 'Trainspotting' is very bold by sticking to a colour scheme of black,white and orange. Due to this colour scheme the poster can be easily recognised. However, this poster differs from many others as it displays all five of the characters who star in the film, giving every character/ actor/ actress just as much importance as the next. |
As a shot of a dilating/ constricting eye is used for 'Requiem For A Dream' trailer, the eye image was also placed apart of the poster. As 'Requiem For A Dream' dilating/ constricting eye was the inspiration for the eye scene for our teaser trailer, including our eye shot for the poster would be relevant by showing a link between the trailer and the poster. Even if this eye image is not used for our poster, the concept of linking back to the teaser trailer when using an image is important. Through linking, the audience are able to easily identify the poster with the trailer bringing in a mass audience as the film itself becomes more recognised through simply displaying images/colours that are remembered.

Images for the Film Poster:
The most significant scene in our teaser trailer is the bathroom scene. The first image is a standard image where props and lighting are manipulated accordingly so that the image can be displayed as part of our poster. Lighting and props were changed in order to hint to the audience viewing the poster the type of film it would be. Low level lighting with tints of red and yellow suggest a more dark and mysterious narrative behind the image.
The second image was shot in birds-eye-view just like the memorable scene of our main character submerging into the bathtub in our teaser trailer. Lighting, props and costume were not manipulated, this is because having a still shot like this allows clear links to be made with the same scene in the teaser trailer; therefore allowing the audience to recognise the poster due to its similarities with the film trailer.
