After researching typical posters of our type of genre we came up with our poster. The main image is of Steven and one of our actors. The image was taken from a screenshot in the film, before being cut out and stylized in Photoshop. We chose to stylize the image with a dark charcoal effect, which made the poster look dark and shady. This helps to emphasise the themes portrayed in our film, i.e. crime and violence. Steven is holding a gun in the image, which tells viewers there will be severe violence in the film. Sam (one of our actors) is standing with his hood up and half his face shaded. This follows stereotypical ideas of youth in todays culture.
We included a bold title and chose to substitute the 'I' in 'poison' for a syringe. Reason for this is it suggests drug abuse will be portrayed in the film. We included a quote that we hope will urge people who see the poster, to go and see the film. Also we included a billing block, as it is a vital aspect in film posters.
