Poster ideas

During brainstorming for ideas in relation to our poster, we decided to look at some examples from real life movies that share a similar genre.






These posters all seem deceptively simple, and only seem to focus on one or two objects, usually a face. The colours are bold and used sparingly and most of the poster is subdued, in either black-and-white, or desaturated colours. 
For our poster, we're considering focusing on the clock because the ticking reappears throughout the film so often. Using photoshop, we might try to include the face of Calum, our actor, in the glass face of the clock.

Update on filming 3

Our main actor Calum has dropped out completely. We found a new actor very last minute,  Michael Kelly , whose willing to jump in and fill his role. Michael Kelly  Role: The Boy  Height: 6' Build: Lanky Appearance: Pale complexion, medium length brown hair, pale eyes  Experience: None This leaves the shots we took earlier and edited pretty much useless, which is not ideal but there's no time to reshoot them and get the photos printed for this Sunday.  We can use one dream sequence shot of Ríbh on her own which is still useable, so that's what we'll have to work with.  This could work as it implies that The Boy and The Girl don't have any relationship at all and makes the twist ending a scarier reveal. It wasn't what we planned, but we can work with it.

Poster progress

We initially had three ideas for our poster: a smashed clock, that is seen in the opening shot of Cumha , a screenshot from the movie of the girl's face smiling over the flowers, and a picture of The Girl with a dart through it, all of which are pictured below. We first ruled out using a screenshot from the movie, as this isn't a very professional approach, and then decided not to go along the lines of using the dart as a) the dart board never appears in movie and b) it implies that the movie would be a slasher or horror, which it is not.  Here are the photos we took after we smashed the clock, a symbol of The Boy's hopes and fantasies, as a hint to people looking at the poster of what is to happen.  At first, we couldn't decide between the third or fourth photo, so I decided to do some trials with the third photo, as it's my favourite photo, but it wasn't portrait, as most posters ar...
