In our poster I believe it should be one of our main intentions to portray our character as an isolated, lonely child. As of which he is shown as in the film.
This would be a good image for our poster as it not only shows our character as a lonely child but also hides his identity by not showing his face. He is seen climbing a tree in the film and as it is quite an important film I believe it is necessary to have it for our poster.
Another image that shows our childs isolation. In this case it uses black and white to portray the short as a gritty, social realist film, there would be space for a title in the bottom right corner of this image and enough space for a censorship rating as well as awards. In this picture the child is wearing quite gritty clothing, if we were to use this design we would have Milo wearing the clothes he wears throughout our short, I feel the body language and facial expressions are perfect for what we want to portray. These two poster ideas are both portrait and would do well in attracting a local audience as well as social realist fans. I believe both, especially the second image connote it being a social realist film very well.
This image uses colour as its way of attracting an audience, it is eye catching and interesting with three dominant colours. It has the light blue clouds almost clashing with the orange town underneath, my favourite part of this image is the black tree and child. Again this idea works well as Milo climbs a tree within our short film, his tree is his happy place, the darkness of the tree and child makes it stand out from the other dominant colours, due to it being in black, this connotes it being quite sad and lonesome. I feel there could be a lot of things that can be analysed within this image, with enough space again for a title and awards, I believe this poster idea would attract more of a city audience who are not so local. This image would attract an audience who prefer other types genres, not necessarily social realism films. A problem with this image is it may not be typical for a low budget film, I like the idea of it being a painting or drawing, looking back at Caroline and Jack's ideas with it being a drawing, this can connote a child's drawing.
Similar to the other ideas, this type of poster would include our character climbing up a tree, but this time it is shown in shadow form. This idea would be good for connoting a low budget, social realism film. If we were to do two poster ideas, one for a local audience and one for a city audience, we could use this for our local audience poster. Looking at other posters for British social realist films such as 'This Is England', 'Mixtape' and 'Fish Tank', they use a landscape poster to portray its genre. This image would be an obvious connotation of a social realist film.
