Ancillary Task | Short Film Poster

After working for nearly 3 months on my short film poster, I am now satisfied with the finished outcome of this ancillary task. Looking back at my previous post about my short film poster, I stated that I really liked how the two characters have the gun drawn in the middle of their faces to create the "paradox" effect. This effect which I intended to use was also a real positive noted by the audience as the expressions on the actors faces are really strong and well defined.

Receiving my feedback on my poster, the main points which were made where to consider where the text was going to go. Eventually, I came up with the idea of increasing the size of the photograph taken but also only include Morgan's face in the poster with his face being cropped to the side. This allowed more room for me to place the text in whilst keeping the minimalistic poster style in tact. Using Morgan's face in the poster was a decision I made purely on the basis that his photograph was a lot easier to edit and to add more contrast in then Luke's photograph, but also since Morgan is the main protagonist for this short film.

When I took a 2nd look at the film posters I had initially researched, I noticed how they included the film credits and reviews for this short film in too. Whilst adding the extra details in, I also played around with adding release dates for this production as well as the distribution company and links to websites. I chose to use the "Bebas" font for my text since this font fitted best with the genre of our short film.  Overall I am very pleased with the final outcome of my short film poster and I truly believe that this poster is as good as it could possibly get.

Below is a speedart video of the poster being made right the way through to the very end.
