One of the task we have been given with this A level unit is creating a poster to go with our teaser trailer.
I have decided that it is worth looking at Johnny Cash's CD covers and other pictures taken of him towards the end of his career. This is because he had an aged faced that was full of regret and sorrow. The life he lived was harsh, solitary and unforgiving all words that are summed up when you look at some of Cash's artisticly simple album covers. This album cover on the left is shows Johnny Cash's typical look "The man in black" as you can also see he is in a desert like enviroment which would obviously be extremely warm yet he is wearing a full length black coat and possibly a suit underneath. This suggests his outlaw like persona, not being like everybody else is what makes a legend. His guitar is like his only true love, the one thing that will always be there for him when lifes nasty road approaches will be his music.
These type of iconic images are the sort that we want to create for our film, pictures that crawl into viewers minds and bury a seed that grows into excitement to see a film.
