Film Poster Ideas- Frankie and Ella

We have been brainstorming a few ideas for our chosen image that will be on the film poster. We chose our favourite two shots and drew them out.
Below is a medium shot. The shot enables the viewer to see all of our main characters but mainly the young girl, Jenifer. Jenifer's facial expression and body language suggest the the twist to our plot in a subtle way.

 

Our second idea is a image of one of our key scenes. It's a long shot, allowing the characters full bodies to be seen, with the Christmas tree to the side of the frame, creating an emphasis on the chirstmas theme. The picture shows all of our characters and hints at the narrative of our film. This image is visually pleasing also, as it has lots of interesting features. There is also a space at the top allowing room for our titling.

 

Furthermore we also looked for inspiration  on the website Vimeo. The screen grab below was taken from a short film entitled 'Little brothers'. After seeing this shot it gave us an idea of having a close up of Jenifer writing her letter to father Christmas, which is a key event. If we choose to use this idea it will be shot in color with a warm coloring to it. We could also fit the titles in with this shot as we feel it would look effective.
