For the first design I chose to stay quite conventional to the stereotypical features of a film poster. I wanted to include many elements that had been included on the film posters in my mood board, therefore my design features: quotes from a magazine, a star rating system, actors names, tagline, film titles, idents and credits as well as film award badges. However this film poster does flout one stereotypical convention as the poster will feature the protagonist and her best friend, this is unconventional as film posters usually present their protagonist through one mid/close up shot of them looking into the camera. This is a typical layout of a romance film as seen through my research when creating my mood board through film posters such as 'Love Rosie' and 'Juno', however this layout will represent the key theme of friendship in my short film. This poster design also follows the rule of thirds as the first thing the audience will be drawn to is the main image that will feature the protagonist and her friend as it is placed in the centre of the poster.
Design Two:
This poster design also conforms to many conventions of stereotypical film posters as it includes elements such as: the film title, the release date, a star rating system, magazine names, main actors names, certificate, awards and the idents and credits. This poster also flouts the convention of the main image being a close up/mid shot of the protagonist as the main image is of the protagonist and her best friend, this was done to present the strong theme of friendship throughout the film. This poster is also landscape where as generally film posters tend to be portrait.
