I used 'Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8' to edit together various different photos I downloaded from the internet to make the poster draft. The Title - 'LOCKDOWN' was made on 1001 fonts then downloaded to my laptop and the Production logo in the bottom left, was made by one of my other group members.
I used the colour palette to adjust various different colours and to match them with the background and other photos.
These were some ideas I wanted to incorporate within my poster. I wanted to focus on some of the key conventions that are used in Film Noir, like smoking, chiaroscuro lighting/single source lighting and silhouettes.
THE FINAL DRAFT
The photo of the couple will be replaced with the Protagonist and his Wife and the woman in the doorway will be the Femme Fatale. The writing along the bottom and the title will still remain, as will the names up the top and the logo's in the bottom corners of the poster.
I analysed various different Film Noir posters before making the draft and I drew inspiration from the posters for, Sin City, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep and Bladerunner. I particularly liked the sense of danger and mystery highlighted in these posters as a lot of them were focussed on a group of people or couple, often one of them holding a gun, and looking into some sort of image in the background, or, in the foreground but the image was small and hard to distinguish. As a whole the posters provoked a certain sense of intrigue about what the film was about and what was happening which i wanted to capture in my film poster.
