Film Poster Base

Using Adobe Photoshop I've produced the basis for my short films poster, currently it has the credits box and the titles, all that is left is to produce production company logos and the image that features on the poster itself.

Production Update 18/01/17

Filming began, opening sequence (credits and chase) at editing stage.

Using both iMovie (To stabilise/apply effects) and Final Cut Express for editing.

Titling

An important aspect of my short films poster is the font used to present the title, while often looked over in favour of the image present on posters the font of the title is important to give an immediate idea of what the film is about and the tone it is presented in. Below are a few possible fonts I tested.

In the end I chose the font in the centre as it's both clear and prominent and gives off a sense of power due to its size and equal sizing off the text.

Film Intro Test 1

For this test I used a rather simple style to benefit from Bathes 'Enigma' codes where questions are created by limiting what the audience sees. It creates a sense of intrigue that keeps the audience watching. From a production standpoint it is also easier to create and often easier to pull off effectively. 

Film Title Ideas

One of the more difficult aspects of creating my short film has been deciding on a title. I wanted something that would reflect the contents of the film but also have impact, after some debate with the people helping me produce my short we had a short list of 3 names:

Runner
Behind Enemy Lines
The Hunt

We decided on 'Behind Enemy Lines' as our title because it summed up the premise and content of the film perfectly, someone lost behind enemy lines.
