Poster Research and Mock Ups

First we looked at posters in our genre to see if there were any general ideas we should follow. As you can see from the posters below, there is a lot of variety in this genre. Some posters focus on one character while others are more sharply divided and give a sense of more characters and more of the narrative. The colour palettes vary from bright colours to muted greys.




Gives a good idea of opposing sides - Anonymous X on one side and Y on the other? But might become too busy and crowded.


Gives the opportunity for lots of action shots from the film and therefore easy narratively - but stills from filming ofetn pixillate and again, we are looking for a darker, cleaner, more gritty feel.


Simple but effective - face of journalist and something to indicate action? Maybe even the blog?


Again, dark and simple. Focus is on character over plot - can we afford to do this? We are imagining that or film is based on a best-selling novel so maybe.


Like the graphics here - maybe we can overlay blog onto journalist's face?

One possibility is to use the X of Anonymous X to divide the poster so we can focus on more characters. We would imagine the X being overlaid with typing from the blog:



We took close ups of the cast to use in poster mock ups:







We turned these black and white to fit our dark colour palette:




This is a rough attempt at the poster:
