Poster - Completed

We then added text to our poster and came up with a completed design:

We went for the image with the lips and eyes pixelated as we felt it was more striking and creepier than just his eyes being pixelated. We had the title at the top, and then just the portrait shot of the protagonist on a black background. We felt this was the most effective and simple way to attract our target audience. This also makes the text stand out, due to the luminous green colour. We chose this colour as it features heavily in some games, such as Call of Duty, so serves as an intertextual reference. We then included our slogan or tagline, "Some live to play. Others play to live" along with the date of our release. We then had the text at the bottom in a smaller size, with the credits about producers and directors etc. This was because it is a code and convention of film posters, so we needed it on ours.

Website Design

This is a screenshot of our final website design for the homepage. 

The page features a large photo of our main actor, which has his eyes pixelated. This was also our poster image. We felt it stood out on the page and instantly made it clear that he was the protagonist of our film. We included key features like the actor's name, the date and rating on the page. 

We also included an option to "share" the page through popular social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. 

We also included a rating from a relevant media. We went with the gaming magazine, 360-Gamer which we felt had the same target audience as our film and that our film would appeal to their readers.
