Visual Project development post #2

While still not certain how to proceed with the poster design, I decided to start the development of my other poster samples.  As I mentioned previously, I wanted to take iconic moments in film and use them in my poster design. My next two film moments are taken from the films ‘Kill Bill’ and ‘The Matrix’. I’d like to say that these films were chose with some sort of artistic reasoning but they weren’t. I chose these films purely because they are some of my favourite films and why not use examples I love?

By using my first design as a base, I would apply the silhouettes of ‘The Matrix’ and of ‘Kill Bill' to what little of a design template I had.  The example I chose for the matrix was a silhouette of Neo’s (the protagonist) glasses. While I personally was completely fine with that decision, I was unsure of how clear the imagery would be to people who are not as familiar as I was with the plot. This was quite a problem as a poster is supposed to easily tell the view what it is about at first glance.

I honestly could not think of another instance in the movie to use so I decided to keep the glasses in and possibly emphasise the nature of the poster in some other way.

I made progress in the design by again looking at Art Nouveau and how they framed their work. This lead to me repeating the below design at the top of the page to complete the frame.  

While satisfied with my progress so far, I felt that this concept could be so much more if I was to use digital media to produce it. Unfortunately, I have no experience with any digital media but if I was to have more time with this, it would definitely be something I’d look into.
