Research into conventions of film posters today
Today a typical film poster includes a few key features; bold film title, famous person, famous persons name in large text, ratings and a scene from the film to give a hint. The colour scheme and mood also seems quite considered to match the tone/genre, like in this piece it is very dark with deep blues and a lot of black.
Final Design
After my original post with my three different designs, I have chosen this design as it best reflects our documentry and is a really interesting image that compels the viewer to look deeper and take thier own interpretation. I also really like the colour scheme and the way the text is simple and elegantly placed. The blue and peachy colour scheme works really well and creates the atmosphere I had intended. I asked a few people what they thought of my poster designs and generally people thought this one was the best, and the others looked a little unprofessional and cartoony, this one more professional.

Final Final Design
After getting feedback from people looking at the poster I realised I needed to make some changes to the text, people though the text along the bottom had 'too nice' of a tone and needed to be more snappy and sharp, people also suggested I should include the name of the documenter as this is a big part of what makes you want to watch a documentry (thinking Louie Thereoux, David Attenbrough), when you know and like the documenter you want to watch it which is why in advertising for this sort of documentry the name of the documenter is bold and one of the first things you read and what draws you in. So with these finishing touches, hopefully this is my final design.,
