Creating the poster - without the picture!

Ive started to create my poster, I'm still undecided about what its going to include. This is a major issue but I just want it too be right! I am thinking of having Ben with his hoody hiding his face but I'm concerned how this will look against a black background.

My other idea is too take some photos of a laptop or a alarm clock so it fits in with the whole story around an Email/time but I need to get some real good images to pull this off.

Here is my work so far its an early rendition, ill tidy it up and add so more to it once I know for definite what I want to do with it.



For the moment I have just added some reviews at the top, Firstly because a lot of poster include some kind of reviews, even though the examples I've shown earlier don't include them. Secondly I really like the look as it breaks up the baron space, even though there is no photo yet. Ive also used the bottom to include some of the "stars" although it is just the Soulless Productions team and Alex our female star. This is always present in movie posters as its usually used to help advertise the film, many star driven films like "Buried" emphasise the actor, in that case Ryan Reynolds as he is a huge film star so his status can help bring more people to watch the movie.

The Title I have kept with a basic text because the film revolves around threat over an email, I wanted to keep the text looking like it was from a computer, not something fancy, which looked as if "Deadline" was written in blood or another strange font type. I added the phrase "their time has just run out" I thought of it as I was putting the start of this poster together and I really like it as it plays off the fact that "Deadline" is a time based target.
