Above is the first of three drafts for a film poster of my short film 'skate or die' it shows the skateboard in a police mug shot holding a board with the film information on. This poster portrays the skateboard as criminal but doesn't reveal anything else about the story of the film or any of the other characters apart from some clues given away by the title. The board that the skateboard is holding will include the title, production team information and tagline which is yet to be decided. The starring cast members are at the top of the poster as is convention.
The second plan for a poster that I drafted shows a wider picture of the themes to this dark comedy short film, it shows that there is romance conflicting with friendship and portrays the skateboard as having human thoughts, with the title and production information enclosed within a thought bubble with the words skate or die showing his frustration at the romance . Once again the cast stars names are at the top of the poster to follow convention.
The final plan I made for my film poster was similar to the second. It shows the skateboard thinking about his owner and his new lover. However this time I have shown the skateboard in the foreground to represent it as the main character and the thought bubble in the background shows them as supporting characters. Film title, production information and taglines are at the bottom of the page and the cast are at the top to follow convention.
