The document discusses several movie posters and magazine covers that inspired the design of a film poster. It describes elements from posters for Star Trek, Colombiana, and Salt that provided ideas for positioning characters, including taglines, and implying setting. Images on magazine covers for Salt and another provided inspiration for layout, colors, and using a vibrant 3D-like central character image rather than an overly innocent portrayal.

1. Star Trek Poster
The Star Trek poster is one of our inspirations for our film poster.
Although it is not the same genre of our film , we used it for an idea of how
to position three characters on a poster . This being said the poster
implies the character of James T Kirk is more important than the other
two characters on the poster as his face is larger in size than theirs. This
lets the audience know that the other two characters are the subordinate
roles. On our poster we will not portray any of the characters to be more
important than the others as all three girls are important as each other.
Underneath the characters is an image of a road and spaceships . This
indicates the genre of the film , along with the blue tint.

2. Colombiana Poster
The tagline on this poster indicates one of the themes of the film. This gave us
inspiration to use a tagline on our poster. The tagline compliments the image as
the gun represents vengeance and Zoe Saldana represents beauty.
The yellow tint implies
The setting is also shown with an image of Rio de Janerio favelas and New York
city, giving the audience the setting of the film.

3. We used the salt poster as inspiration for ours as it depicts to images of her slightly
back to back which gave us an idea for ours. We could place our characters on our
poster just like on salts but instead of two figures there would be three. The images in
the background also gave us an idea to put faded images of our setting on our
poster.

4. The salt magazine cover gave us inspiration for the layout of our poster . We liked the
image and the colours used as they had a crime theme feel to it. We also liked the way
she looked on the poster which was very similar to the style of our characters.

5. This magazine covers image was much more vibrant which stood out to us. we was
inspired by this to use a more 3d image of us when producing the mag cover as it
will have the same effect of making the character appear to be coming out of the
page.

6. The image of the charlies angels cast on this magazine cover gave a very welcoming
feel to it. We realized we didnt want to use such an innocent image of our characters
on the mag cover because it would drag away from the film characters that they are
and concentrate more on them as the people they are outside of film. On our mag
cover we would like the audience to feel like they can tell what the genre is and an
idea of the characters we are .
