The thing that attracted us to this poster is the shattered effect it has. We think the effect of using a few images and cutting them up would give a disjointed, confusing feel and intrigue the audience.  It would also go with the subject of our film as our main character is meant be suffering from weird, scary dreams which leave her disillusioned and vulnerable.  We also like this idea as we have used face pace images of Emily in the pool and using a few of these would link in our poster and our film together.  Although we really like this poster we think the text is too small and subtle.  We want our title Verity Lies and our tag line of Do you ever question reality to be quite bold and grab audiences attention.

This poster was not one we initially liked, however there was a certain aspect of this poster we liked. The three characters that are featured in the film, are placed over each other, each being slightly transparent at the points in which it meets. We have considered this for our poster, where multiple images of Emily would appear on top of each other. These images in themselves would tell a story that relates to our film, for example the process of Emily being sad to happy, to angry to confused. All over each other to allow the viewer to know that there is something questionable about the mental heath of 'Verity'. We also liked the subtle landscape of New York, however this will not be used in our poster we liked the hidden image allowing more depth in the poster, this we will try and include in our poster, the sense of mystery that surrounds Verity.


We saw this film poster in a tube station whilst we were filming in London, we really liked the layout and idea of it as it has an interesting look and structure. We mainly liked how half of the magazine was one main character, which then matched up to another main character from the film. As the person viewing it you are automatically drawn towards the image and then find yourself looking at the titles. The actors and actresses' names are displayed in a small font at the top but they are actually slightly too small, we only have one actresses' name to display and we want this to be clear to the viewer. The name of the film itself is very bold and the font is quite harsh and square looking. The release date of the film is highlighted red, which matches the colour scheme of the magazine. This tactic draws the viewer directly to the bold title and red release date at a first glance of the poster. The credits below the title are quite transparent and are not really acknowledged by someone briefly looking at the poster. Overall we really like this poster and are going to attempt to have a similar initial idea for our own poster.


This poster shows a woman sitting in a closed body language position on the floor, surrounding her are many things to do with the film. We like it because it is bright and colourful and very hectic. The text differs from a banner effect to bright sparkly letters, this captures your attention as it is nearly the only text on the poster. We could use this as an influence because it shows layering and over lapping of pictures to make one big poster. They have focused on sizing and transparency to make it all fit together to make it look more realistic rather than lots of images scattered on a page. The colour are vibrant and contrast with the pale whiteness of the girl. Even though our film is a different genre and deals with different scenarios we could incorporate factors that relate to our trailer for example the main character's positioning. She is a young female who looks vulnerable much like our main character.
