14. Final piece
I chose this as my final piece as
I feel it still captures the movie
and appeals to a modern
audience. I thought about the
colour a lot and the connotation
of the colour red. I kept the
picture in black and white to
make it dramatic and to keep in
with the film noir roots. I also
thought about the placement of
the image to which bit would
draw the most attention. I
wanted the type face to be like
handwriting to give a personal
factor and to connote a ‘love
note’ feel. The picture is a more
modern piece with modern
themes more acceptable in this
day and age opposed to the
1950’s. Adding to this it would
have been rare to see a
photograph as a movie poster.
