This is our final draft for our film poster, we are using this one because of the successful photoshopping we did to the picture. We have added effects and smoothed out lines and covered up freckles and blemishes to make the picture stand out from the red, satin background. This is one of my favourite effects in this poster because I believe the use of the red satin bed sheet surrounding the main character connotes sex and death and starts to spark interest and mystery as to what this character and film could be like. We also added a glow to the titles 'LOLA' and 'COMING SOON' to make them stand out as well, along with the white colouring so it contrasts well with the red background. In this photo we used a hat to cover some of her face, this makes the picture seem more mysterious and the girl looks more concealed, like she is planning something and again starts to give away some of what the genre of the film may be. The title 'LOLA' is written down the left side of the poster next to the image because we want the audience to make a link between the title and the image but we don't want the title to distract too much attention away from the main image. We also added the word 'coming soon' at the bottom of the page so that some excitement and suspense is created in the audience. Because it is a teaser poster we didn't want to give away too much about the release date yet.
It is also apparent that we left out conventions seen in some existing film posters such as the names of actors and directors written along the bottom of most film posters. Although we discovered many posters leave that out and have their poster focused around solely the image and title. We chose to use this convention because we believe a teaser poster should give away as little as possible to keep the audience thinking about the film and what it may be like and include.
