Post-Production: Poster progress eight

 I have created slight changes to my film poster:

1. Considering the bleedline, I have made sure on the right, thought words sit against the line so that the spacing/ layout is right.
2. I have also turned down the opacity to 4% so that the thought words are less visible. The symbolic ideas represent Dan's state of mind as the faded words are thoughts, that are deep within his sub-consciousness.
3.  The words on the poster are all different shapes and sizes which compliments the idea that all his thoughts are distorted and disorganised. The disorganisation compliments the main image as Robert's body language and non-direct address has connotations to feelings of confusion and frustration.
4. Therefore, narrative can be depicted from my poster print advertisement.
5. The poster also adheres to the social realism genre as the focal idea of the poster is to show that the main character goes through a series of issues/ personal struggles. The narrative appeal links to the character progression and the ambiguous idea of whether his dream will be fulfilled.
6. The main image is slightly out of focus but I have purposely done this.
7. I wanted to present Dan as a character who is formed by all his thought process so he is blurred slightly to be on the same level as his thoughts/ views of self. The idea that Dan is an introvert character is reflected with the slight out of focus as the intended effect advertises a sense of narrative e.g being invisible to people in his life.

This particular whiplash poster inspired the idea of having words in the background. Instead of using quote reviews, I decided that the inner thoughts would capture and endorse the social realism genre.
