Here is a very roughly edited teaser poster that was edited from an old photo we found in our files on a memory stick. This is not our official movie teaser poster but just a rough draft we liked. It follows the conventions of a Johnny Cash album cover but not the same size. As you can see it is very minimalistic in terms of text only the title can be seen & there is no tagline.
It is supposed to look like John Walters the character is standing on stage in all his glory with his guitar on his back in an iconic Johnny Cash like pose. The spotlight is focused on the character and the text is very minimalistic showing classic conventions of a movie poster.
There's also a sense of redemption with this image as if he's seeing the light after a dark period in his life. Johnny Cash's religious beliefs often seemed to be at odds with his lifestyle. That duality would be an interesting theme to explore in your own film.
