Initial ideas for my Film Poster

Below is an initial idea I had for my short film poster. 
  • TITLE: I want to use a font called 'eraser dust' as it looks as if someones sketched it and goes well with my film idea and my main character loving to sketch.
  • SLOGAN/TAGLINE: (I have made a blog post on slogans/taglines) I want to use the font 'typewriter' as it matches the font I used in the film, which gives the same style to the film poster.
  • PHOTOS: I want to use 6 screenshots from the film, from different parts of the film. I don't think this gives away what the films about. Each photo is a different hobby my main character does to relax and destress.
  • BACKGROUND: I don't want a distracting colour, therefore nothing too bright. I am choosing from white, grey and blue. As its a social realism film and my character is real, I wanted to use 'Beths' favourite colour, which is pale blue.
  • CREDITS: I am going to write the credits in upper case therefore I am using the font 'Amatic Small Caps'.
  • FILM RATING: I have made a blog post on how I chose which rating for my film, but the film rating doesn't go on the film poster.
  • RELEASE DATE: I have done research on teen and documentary front covers and most of the successful films have the release date on the bottom in the middle in a different colour to make it stand out. It can either say its 'coming soon' or a year and season or an exact date, but the post goes up on billboards before its released so I am choosing to have 'coming soon' to attract the audience and create excitement and anticipation.



I wanted to test the idea of having screen shots from the film together to see if it worked. Personally I think it will look better with spaces between them because it looks like a border. My screenshots are clear and professional enough and need to choose 6 to have on my final cover.
