My Short Film Poster

I designed my short film poster on Photoshop. For the background, I have used a plain white colour towards the bottom, and a murky, dark blue colour towards the top of the poster. I have done this to represent the two seperate lives of the main character. The white showing how her life was in the beginning of not having a lot of money and being on her own. The dark blue represents her life of winning the lottery, but then it all going wrong and her changing who she is as a person.
The main focus point of the poster is the lottery ticket which has been ripped in half. This represents the point in which she realises that things in her life are getting worse because of her winning the money, and when she decides that she wants to go back to how her life was before. I thought doing this was a good idea as it gives the audience an idea of what kind of genre the film is and whether what happens is good or bad.
I decided on the name 'Reality Cheque' for my film. The word cheque meaning the £1 million that Sarah has won and the word reality showing how she realised how much things have gone wrong and that she wants her 'real' life back.

 

 

I have used pink fonts for the title and the date as my target audience is for girls around the age of 14 and 15. I think that these brighter colours would appeal more to them instead of darker colours.

 

This is one of the idea's I came up with for my poster. I decided not to go with this idea as I thought that my final idea worked better along with my film.

 

 

I designed it to show the two seperate lives of my main character which contrast each other. In the first half she is alone and carrying a bag of shopping. In the second half she is being showered with money. I added the caption " Living 2 seperate lives" to give the audience an idea as to what the film is about. At the bottom is the date of which the film is released.
