Poster Idea

Whilst searching Google Images for pictures of homelessness to create our moodboard I came across this image which I thought would make an excellent poster design. The image quality is poor due to the resizing.

The word "homeless" written along the wall could be replaced with our film title "Thick Skin". We could maybe use a graffiti style font to make it appear as if it has been spray painted on the wall. This would represent the grimey, London location. The title would be read first by the audience because they tend to read from left to right and therefore we need to sure it stands out against the rest of the poster. We could also recreate this image by having our protagonist sitting on the floor in front of the wall instead. Although I like the use of yellow and and dark tones I feel we should incorporate shades of blue instead as it makes the image appear more harsh and real, emphasising the struggle of being homeless.

We have decided in our next filming session we will also take a normal digital camera and see if we can recreate this image. Then we'll upload it onto Photoshop to experiment with placing the font.
