For our poster, which is in the process of being edited, we have a shadowed figure in the background, which may show the audience that the main character is a strange yet mysterious person. This may also show the possibility of a split personality problem, and how he has not got a clear idea for himself.
The use of light on the back wall, suggests how Walters may be moving forwards into the light and into a brighter future, especially suggesting the way that his shadow is facing. It may also suggest the use of a split personality once again with the use of the light with him dark, perhaps suggesting how he is in a different mindset.
The use of the lonely guitar case resembles Walters past, as he has been very troubled, and has gone through a rough patch in his career. The Guitar case also represents strength to the audience, as it stands there alone, it can relate to Walters, how he has to battle his own wars alone with alcohol and drug abuse without any help.
The use of font for our poster is Vanilla White; we chose this because it gave the best effect of a western genre. The wording is very western like, but also gives a slight hint of the godfather, with the lines blurring off to the side.
The use of the website on our poster is to give the idea of a real poster convention; therefore like the posters we studied such as Inception, they all had links to their websites at the bottom of the poster.
The use of production companies at the bottom of the page is another typical convention of film posters, as this is shown with the posters in Gran Torino and Inception. It sometimes has links to the production company’s websites, which can give more information into the existing film.
