Just like the magazine front cover, I also to think about the layout of the poster and what the main image would be. I wanted to think of a simple image that spoke for itself. Where the 'simple image' idea came from is the Saw Movie posters.
Here is an example of a poster for one of the SAW Movies:
The image on my movie poster won't be this explicit/graphic. However, the way in which the image is used will work int he same way. This poster above shows a man sitting with a mask on. The mask is the real face of another man. This image could be interpreted in many diffrerent ways.
For example, these are just my theories:
1. A man is trying to be somebody else.
2. There is twist in the film about different identies.
3. Somebody is not who they really are.
4. We know that the main character in the film (the mask) had died but now obviously somebody is taking over his work.
These are just a few interpreations that I came up with for this one simple image.
I wanted to portray the same type of image that could say a lot of messages to the audience and also leave them with a lot of unanswered questions.
Here are some of the mock-ups that were drawn as a guideline when making my Movie Poster:
This second mock-up just above is the main one that we wanted to use in the final design. It was a much more simple photograph that will speak out more to the audience. The image shows just an arm/hand, a person who is unknown to the audience holding the mask. Nobody knowns the person who is behind the mask just as the character Katie also doesn't know. This put the character in the movie and the audience in the same position. The only words featured on the poster is the name of the movie named 'The Intruder' and the names of the main actors/actresses in the film.
