This is one of the first drafts of our poster, we have settled on the name "Her Majesty's Wasteland", the poster accentuates some of the themes presented by this name. Given the large, regal crown in the middle of the poster, the reference to the royal family (an iconic sign of Britain) is obvious, this further outlines the British touch which we are trying to display as one of the main focus points of our film. The character on the poster is looking away from the viewer, this is a nice change to the conventional theme of characters giving a direct look towards the audience. This makes the character look much more real and gritty, as if he doesn't really care about the fame of the cover. The fact that he is holding his gun in his hand closest to the camera is an obvious hint to the violence within the film. The gun also compliments the character's distraction, it makes it seems as if the character is distracted by something dangerous enough that he may need to use his gun. The font of the poster is very grand, in the way that the viewer's attention is immediately attracted to the title, however at the same time the font also looks gritty and brutal. The themes presented in the font are exactly what we attempt to portray in our film; a grand, melodramatic piece with gritty, cruel undertones. The only thing I don't like about this poster is the lack of background (which is mainly due to it being a rough draft) and the bullets coming from the title, the bullets in my opinion look very tacky and unnecessary. All in all I like the look of this poster as a draft, it needs work but I like many of the features present on it.
