My objectives for the poster were to produce a film noir poster, made of few photographs suggesting film noir style, as well as text. I think I have achieved my objectives quite well, because I have used 2 photographs that I edited to make them look like cartoon-style photos used in classic film noir posters that I have researched. I have decided on that style rather than black and white photographs because I think color photographs look more appealing to the audience. I have also included text in my poster, as I stated in my brief. The text contains actors' names, title of the movie and a couple of sentences that are supposed to make people want to see the movie.
For the timeline I did not quite follow my brief as I decided to shoot indoors rather than outdoors. Instead of shooting out in the streets I decided to do my shoot in a room, where 2 people would be playing cards. I took photographs as they were playing and put them on my timeline chronologically, so my animation shows the progress of the game. Before I shot I thought about making my timeline be like a scene from a movie that could be used as a part of a trailer. My timeline does not say a lot about the actual movie, instead it makes people curious about the movie as all they can see is just a small bit of the movie - a card game. They do not know who the characters are why are they playing, so it encourages them to see the movie.
However I did not quite fulfill my objectives, I have used one of my ideas for the timeline in my poster. In my brief for the timeline I wrote about a scene in a cafe or a restaurant, with two people sitting at a table. I have used this idea in my poster, where two people sitting at a table, with wine bottle and glasses, are in the middle photograph of the poster.
