Poster Designs and Sketches

These are the posters that I used as my main inspiration:

This has the idea of another reality existing in the person's head, which is useful for our piece.

The second poster has mood lighting and suggests characters in conflict, so we could oppose our main character and the villain in this way.

This focuses on the terror of the main character and makes you wonder what is lurking in the darkness. We want to replicate this kind of lighting.

Here we have an extreme close up of the main character, which might work well for our film. It shows that a really simple image can work if it is bold and striking enough.

This poster has more narrative detail and is divided into clear sections. This works well for story-telling but does not create as much atmosphere.

Here we have another poster suggesting ideas inside someone's mind, this time literally coming out of their head.

This looks like one image but is three - the silhouette, the main character's face and the second smaller silhouette. If we lit the main character carefully in the photo shoot, we could create something similar with the teacher providing the sinister figure.

After looking at these posters, these are my initial designs:

This keeps focus on the main character's face and emotions but can have a misty sene from her dream on the other side of the poster.

Here we have the dreams literally coming out of her head.

Here I am playing with a more Bullet Boy idea of having the dreams trapped inside her head.
