The poster design summarizes an ancillary task for a short film. It will feature the main character Zoe with makeup to look like she is crying in the foreground, with the male character partially behind her to imply she is in danger. The title will be in a tested font straight across the top, and the cast and age certification will also be included to provide information for the target 15+ audience.

2. Similar to the other short film posters
that I analysed, I have used only half of
Zoe's face on the poster so it allows the
audience to see what's behind her.
The girl will be at the front as she is the
main character.
Zoe is going to have make up under her
eyes so it looks as though she has been
crying; this is to give off connotations
that she is sad and that something has
happened with the other person in the
picture, which implies that he is the one
in the wrong and that he has upset her
in some way.

3. Title straight down to show what it’s
called.. I’ll test different fonts to see
which will look better.
The male will be behind her so it looks
as though she is in danger, hence why
she would be crying, but this is so that
there is a shock in store for the audience
when the plot is revealed.
Cast to show who will be featuring in it.
An age certificate is not seen often on a
short film poster but I’m going to include
one as I believe it is not suitable for all
age ranges, plus our target audience is
15+ anyway.
