Our task was to create a film poster promoting the new film about the Chilean Miners. The film was called 33 and we started off researching the film and background information about the event. Because the film is based on a true story, information was easy to find and locate and this helped with the design of the poster. I also found the task easier than some of the other tasks as I am familiar with creating posters for films ect.

I used this image to help me with colour. I wanted to keep the colours simple and to link with the flag.

This image was taken from google and the men were actual miners in the accident. I thought this would be striking on the poster as they actually experienced the trauma and are involved in the film. The three of the also sat nicely on the poster.

In photoshop I cut out the men from the background and adjusted the saturation to make them have a red tinge about them. This linked with the red in the flag and gave a different dynamic to the photo rather than just black and white.

I made the flag the fill for the text of the title. I thought this incorporated the flag in a different way, rather than having it purely as the background. I did this in InDesign and this was something new that I learnt.

This was different example of the colours that I tried for the poster, however the red interlinked with the flag and the rest of the poster, so it worked better.

My final poster included the an outline of the map in the background, so that people understood where the film is set. I also added the credits at the bottom of the poster. However to improve this I could have found a better colour, rather than having red on red. Overall I was please with my outcome for a days work.
