Film Poster Initial Ideas and Final Product
Polly Pritchard
First IdeaFor my first idea I wanted to feature evidence of the murders taking place in the film, the newspaper and feature a rip in the page, revealing the face of our protagonist.
Inspiration for my first idea
First Idea cont…
Rough plan of my first poster idea
First Draft• When creating
my first draft I recreated the newspaper title we used in the film to create a background for the poster
First Draft cont…• I then attempted to create the rip in

Feedback• Doesn’t away the
ending• Hints at the
premise• Establishes
context
• More like a Teaser Poster
• No Tagline • No Production
Credits
2nd Idea • For my second
idea I wanted to feature both of my actors, mimicking traditional film noir posters but use a background image rather than a colour to a appeal to a more modern audience.
2nd Idea cont… • I wanted to create a
disconnect between the characters by creating a visible distance, I aimed to achieve this by having one character in black and white and the other in colour.

Final Product
Feedback• Doesn’t away the

premise• Establishes
context
• The Production Credits are quite hard to read.
• The white around her hair could be cut out to make it look more real.
Final Product Cont…
• I chose my second draft to become my final product as I felt it was more appropriate for our target audience, more successfully communicated the premise and genre of our film and is more conventionally similar to real film posters
