Film Poster Ideas 1 - Half Faces

Our first idea for a film poster is to have half the face of the old man and half the face of the demon, blurred into each other or with a dividing graphic between two halves of each face. Some examples of these type of posters are shown below.

This poster to the left advertising 'The Ideas of March' is vaguely like the effect we want to achieve, except the cut between the two separate faces isn't obvious enough. At a glance or from a distance, the two different halves of faces could be easily mistaken for one whole face. We want to make the two separate halves more distinctive.





This poster for 'Warrior' is the closest match to the type of thing we want to achieve that we've been able to find. The colours are dreary and dull with only a hint of colour, and the two face halves are separated with a graphic instead of being blurred together. This poster may well inspire our poster for 'Karma'.





Finally, the poster for 'Me, Myself & Irene' also has a graphic to split the two faces, but it is much too clean and neat, whereas our horror film needs a grungier, more ragged graphic. Also, the colouring on the poster is far too vibrant and bright for our film poster, which has to relay the dark, demonic feel of the film.
