FILM POSTER ATTEMPT 1

After our second day of filming we decided to use a still shot of Johnny looking out over the lake and wilderness as the cover for our film poster. We took a few a shots of Michael playing Johnny using different angles and then took looked them over and decided which one we felt was most powerful. The shot connotes sadness and confussion and it also connotes lonliness. We feel that this shot does not reveal to much about our plot but gives away the genre which helps interest our target audience. This was the first film poster created after being edited:

FIRST ATTEMPT-

 However we looked at the final image on the poster and felt there was something missing. The Poster lacks iconograpy or any form of enigma codes. This poster does well to grab attention without revealing anything to much but it lacks the codes and conventions of a gangster/crime genre, if anything it seems more of a social realism film poster. We will work to create one that includes correct iconograpy, a form of enigma code and also use an image that portrays both gangster and social realism.
