Poster draft no.1

This is the first complete draft for out film poster. As you can see it is not 100% complete as there are a few things that are i am debating on whether or not to change them or not, those things include the position of the film title, the colour of the font both for the font itself and the colour of the crown logo and i am also questioning whether to return the image in the background to colour but that is going to take a little thought. As of right now this is how the poster is but like i said i am not 100% happy with it and the chances of it being changing soon are high.

Brief evaluation and decisions for the draft poster as it is now:
One of the main questions is why does the character have their back facing us, and that is the exact reason, it raises questions. I have done this as it promotes curiosity in the audience and will hopefully result in them watching the trailer and ultimately, watching the film. The second reason is because of the nature of the character. The character in the film is a stealthy and extremely skilled survivalist ( at least by the end of the film he is) and this poster with the characters back facing away from the audience helps to promote the stealth side of the character, not having his face visible helps to do this as well.

The logo and font colour was chosen as it is the same colour used in the revenue and customs logo. As this is a British film we decided that using the logo and colour from HM revenue and customs would help the audience identify that the film is completely British. We has abbreviated Her Majesty's to HM which is also a direct link to the British revenue and customs, but the actual name of the film is the full 'Her Majesty's Wasteland', This abbreviation might also park the curiosity of the audience who don't already know what it means, which will hopefully lead them to the trailer for the film after they have found out what HM means.

You may notice that the clouds are the only part of the background image that are in colour. This is because it is supposed to represent the  chemical war that left Britain in the mess that is shown in the film, however this will be hard to identify to without watching the trailer or reading the synopsis of the film.

The text at the bottom of the poster is the institutional information and some of the main credits for the film, typical of many film posters.
