Above is the paper preliminary design for my film's poster. This was done by hand and was meant to give me a feeling for how my poster would be laid out in the way of elements such as images and text. The fonts I wanted to use were difficult to replicate by hand, so I instead decided to just write the desired text in my hand writing and implement the fonts when I approached my final poster design.
The cover features our lead roles of Syndromio (right) and Juliet (left) with a city skyline in the background being attacked by a UFO. I wanted a slogan that would follow a robot/computer theme, whilst also being catchy and follow the ideas that the film did, settling upon "Love. War. System Restore."
The final design without actor photos, I created this to get a feel for the placement of each element of the poster and therefore, I could correctly frame my images for the final edit. I created these elements using texts and shape with effects such as gradients, colour overlays and lens flares.
The final poster for my film contains a screenshot from the fight scene of the trailer, to suggest drama and suspense within the film, potentially drawing in audiences for the fight/action scenes within the film, appealing to a whole other demographic that usually wouldn't flock to see a sci-fi comedy. The inclusion of the actors' heads in either corner overlooking the poster is a stylistic feature, often seen in 80s films that I used to apply the actors' names to their faces as well as fill either side, rather than leave it blank and bring attention to the main image in the centre. I also moved the slogan to the bottom, just above the main title of the film, as it crossed the faces in each upper corner.
