Today I received some alarming news in regards to the film poster for my final major project. In the past module Professional Practice, I submitted a very bland and simplistic poster that was not fully ready. I did so because I wasn't able to have a professional photoshoot in time due to availability of the photographer. After hand-in I made plans to shoot a poster after the next hand-in which was for Final Major Project. I made this decision because of how busy I was with shoots and editing for the project I was supposed to be making a poster for. I decision to make my film poster after deadline was so that I could still make it without interruptions which have previously forced me to either reschedule or miss out completely.
Today I found out that I do actually need to hand in a film poster for Final Major Project, which is something not many people were made aware of. It is too close to hand in for me to organise a shoot and make a poster through photoshop, so I'm forced to use the poster I submitted for Professional Practice. I was even told a few days prior that I shouldn't have to worry about a film poster being submitted, but today I've been told a totally different story. It's all quite confusing at the minute in terms of what has to be submitted for academic purposes, but despite all of that I still plan on making a high quality film poster to promote the film after deadline. I have spoken to Ryan who created the concept art for the GoFundMe campaign about helping me create that poster after it has been professionally photographed. We have spoken over the artistic direction of the poster, and I am eager to get it sorted in the coming weeks. Below is a few images of film posters that I am taking stylistic influence from in achieving a design for Echoes of Silence.
