Poster Design Brief

After researching posters for black comedies I now know what I am going to do for mine.
The title will be in big writing across the top, with the tagline underneath it in smaller font. All the text will be over the picture which will take up the whole page. There will be the credits at the bottom of the poster in small font as that is the conventional way.
The picture will be of a miserable looking man with his arms crossed and a noose hanging round his neck. Behind him there will be buildings and a tree. The sky will be cloudy to represent the gloomy subject. The character on the poster will be wearing mostly black to represent his moodiness. The character will be looking at the camera because on posters the characters often look at the camera.

I haven’t followed the conventions of a black comedy poster completely. For example, I don’t have a very funny tagline. I didn’t want a humorous tagline because I decided to challenge this convention and be creative. Also I feel that my film deals with quite a serious issue.
