Here are our two Posters for Torn.
Nicole did a good job on both of them with the titles and picking scences that are most important to the film and that they best represent the film. The poster on the left is taken while Nicole and I were filming, it was near a church, this makes Sian look isolated and alone, two main features of the film. But the scene isnt that important in the film, it doesnt really give much away. It is a bit plain and empty.
We decided with both of our posters that we would use the same lettering that we do in our titles for the same reasons as before. For the poster to the left we don’t like the positioning of the actors names though i think the film name and slogan are in the right place.
The one to the right is taken at the end of our filming, It is the climax of the film, it shows all the characters alongside one of the most shown backgrounds in the film. We also faded them out so that we could draw more attention to Sian in the middle which is vital to the image on the poster and also makes the poster more interesting to look at.The same titles have been used but put in a different arrangement which is more typical of film posters. The title and the slogan are placed above the characters and are quite central this grabs the attention to the characters as we don’t want to give to much away.
For our slogon we have decied to use “Would You Take This Shortcut?” as a ritorical question to draw the audience in. It also does not givetoo much away adding to the mystery.
