Promotional Poster ideas

Bones
Female protagonist - dominating the frame, positioned to our left. - first image we notice, she's wearing a suit, therefore considered as important.

Male - situated further back into the frame - wearing socks, not as important - may not take him seriously.

Genre- forensic - skull buried under earth - protagonists are looking down into a whole

Location - forest

Whitechapel

3 men, - all wearing suits - professional and powerful. - hierarchy of important - where they are positioned within the poster.

Location- East London - Gherkin situated back right of poster - assumptions

Gritty, dull, grey colours

Sans white text

Happy Valley

Police woman - lead protagonist is female - subverts stereotype

bright yellow uniform

cuts on her face - violent - 'getting involved'

Glowing text - white - ghost like

Genre- police procedural



The following pictures of each promotional poster has influenced me to use a grey colour pallet, and create a gritty feel to it. To use a female protagonist, to subvert the stereotypes of the lead being male. However her costume will have masculine traits. For example, trousers. So that she will come across and professional and powerful. I will locate my pictures in a urban setting, roughly dusk. To demonstrate East London, so that my audience can make assumptions according to the location. I will use sans-serif glowing text, like the one for 'Happy Valley'  because I like ideas it suggests. It's mysterious.
