Draft of Poster Ancillary Task

Within our group we have been discussing ideas for the poster of our short film. As it revolves around one character, Lucas and how one decision can change his life, we all agreed how an image of him must be on the poster. We have the idea of showing Lucas standing on the platform at the train station, as this is where he experiences the flash forwards of the different lives he could leave and where he has to make the decision upon which life to choose. Moreover, we want there to be 2 train tracks behind him leading to different directions, hence reflecting the plot of our film. We also like the concept of having Lucas as a silhouette image.

We have created a draft for our poster by using Adobe Photoshop. We found an image of a man, which we cropped to show him on his own and positioned 2 train tracks either side of him. We then placed a picture of a train as the background to the poster, making it more interesting and not so empty. This is just an idea of what we want our poster to look like, as when we create the actual one for our film, we are going to use an image of the actor who is playing our main protagonist.

Our poster includes the title of our film, the name of our production company and the tag line which is: “Sometimes it’s the smallest decision that can change your life forever”, reflecting how whatever choice Lucas makes at the train platform – to help Grace up or get on the train – will change his life drastically.
