This document discusses inspirations for movie posters from three films - Star Trek, Taken 2, and Skyfall. The Star Trek poster inspired using a close-up of a person to look mysterious with dark colors. Taken 2 influenced using dark colors and shadows to add depth and intrigue. The iconic shot from every James Bond film of him pointing a gun at the camera was recreated to grab attention and indicate an action genre.

1. Star Trek- Sci-fi/Action
This Star Trek poster was the inspiration to have a
close-up of a person on my poster, I feel it looks really
mysterious and effective with the dark colours. Also it
was quite easy to produce.
Taken 2- Action
Within this poster I gathered the idea to use dark
colours and that shadowing look because it helps to
give the poster depth and gives it a cryptic look,
which is what I was going for hence the title of my
film being ‘The Unknown One’.

2. James Bond, Skyfall- Action
The iconic shot that has appeared in every single James
bond film. Where James bond is pointing his gun down
the camera as fi the barrel of the gun was facing right at
you and this film poster of one of the recent James Bond
films was my inspiration for me having a gun barrel
pointing down the camera within my poster. Personally I
think it looks really effective grapping people’s attention
and categorically prevails that it is an action film.
