Final Poster Task:11

Here is an image of my final poster. 

As shown here I haven't actually changed much in the terms of content as asking friends and family, I got all positive feed back with the most common answer being " Any more will be too crowded". However, although unclear here I have in fact gone back into the design and refined any edges along with the proper font and not a screenshot. 

Looking at this I can say that I am really happy with the result and I believe that I have linked very well with the film although being subverting. Normally, I would create the poster with a colour such as red to connote the blood. However,  looking at Little White Lies they have subverted the ordinary and have come out with a really successful outcome. 

For this poster I have focused fully on blue for the main background colour. The reason behind this is because the key part of the film was about the flashing back of Anthony into his past errors that got him into therapy. Looking online the colour blue is a symbol of sadness, remorse, heaven, and memory. All of these parts relate very well to the film and I believe allow this poster to subvert from the norm.

Sadness/Remorse:

How Anthony looks back at his mistakes and realised his wrong doing. The addition of him not wanting to talk about it suggests its a sore subject. 

Heaven/ Memory: 

This links in with the death of two actors in our film and how they have gone into the dark memories of Anthony. 

One aspect that I really like is how I have incorporated the knife into the poster. This is a key part of the film as its the thing that helps Anthony take a fix of drugs and also it is the key element and weapon that results in the killing of both Jessica and Lucy. I have gone with this as my image and not any image of the actors. This is mainly due to the reason the photoshoot wasn't planned and was cut short so the images are of good quality but were not necessarily what I wanted. In addition I wanted to subvert from the ordinary and follow styles of more illustrative movie magazines. 

I believe this style and subversion has worked well for my poster and with the knife being a prominent part allows for the viewer to be pulled into the poster wanting to see more of what behind the poster.

Another thing I like about this poster is the 'White Lies' font which I have chosen to show in a cocaine font. This was a lucky find for me as I was looking at normal fonts that are scene on many magazines. However looking down the graphical route I found out that a font was downloadable offline. This is a key part that I believe ties in the poster very well and from the offset you can see that the film is going to incorporate both a knife and Drugs. This works very well at following the style I want and also ups the quality of the final outcome.
