A mini contest in class to create a movie poster for two students from the film department at F.I.R.S.T Institute whose project would be featured at the Florida Film Works at the Enzian. The plot is about man battling inner demons portrayed by a werewolf alter ego. I collaborated with classmate Rei Benitez for this project.
Requirements and Mood:
The theme is more about the subconscious so the wolf should be present but not the main focus
fear
lonely
isolation
1940’s aesthetic
Mood Board provided:
First Draft:
This was the poster they chose from multiple entries (I was very excited)!
Feedback:
Lose the hat
Place the actors names at the top (once cast)
Lose the blood pool
Lose the silver bullets
Add an arm to the werewolf to mimic the man’s silhouette
Make the werewolves ears more pointy
Make the movie title bigger
Add a billblock at the bottom
We were at a great starting point. Rei came in with her brilliant illustration skills and added the pointed ears and arm to the wold and removed the hat from the man while I worked on typography. We sent them back four versions to pick from.
They chose version 4. We filled in the actor names and credits in the billblock.
