Movie poster style models

With the thriller/ dystopian genre for my movie trailer, I have been looking at potential style models for my movie poster. With the two genre I have found recurring themes. With the thriller posters, I have found that there is only one character and is usually a profile shot. With dystopian movie posters, there is usually one or more characters and is usually a full body shot. This also includes a themed background as well that is featured in the movie.

I have decided to go with the more dystopian looking trailer as it looks like the movie has more action rather than a thriller poster that makes the movie look serious and a potential horror.

Dystopian posters

This image now has the saturation changed to make the image look darker. The flooring on the image has has another image over it of stones and the occupancy has been changed to allow some of the original colour to come through.

Movie poster

This is the original beginning image for the movie trailer poster. I took this photograph on a Canon Coolpix camera. It was shot in a corner as this would make is easier for further editing on the image.

This image is the same background as the original. However, the background has been stretched with the smudge tool in order to extend the room to fit the size of the page. I then added paint in a similar colour and a spray tool to create shadow on the walls. 

Beginning voiceover script

I have decided to follow the blurb of the book that I am basing my trailer off, in regards to the voiceover script. This will be used along side the beginning of the trailer. At the beginning it will be the psychiatrist contradicting the main character Juliet.

Psy: Juliet...what do you think is wrong with you?
Jul: I have...this...curse
Psy: Juliet, its a gift
Jul: I'm a monster
Psy: Your simply more than human
Jul: My touch is lethal
Psy: Your touch is power
Jul: I'm a weapon for them
Psy: Then fight back

Voiceover

I plan to have the characters speak through a voiceover so that it can flow in and out of scenes. These three characters will include the main character Juliet, a psychiatrist and the main male, Warner. My sister will be the part of Juliet, my friend Jasmin will be the psychiatrist and Warners voiceover is still un-decided.

Trailer update

The current editing of the trailer is still in its process. However, the beginning of the trailer (around a minute worth) is nearly complete, with the exception of adding two female voiceovers that are contradicting each other. The second half of the trailer is currently underway however i may need to film more scenes. I hope to add a few more landscape shots and shots of the characters in more action sort of situations. Currently, the music is very upbeat throughout the second half and the action scenes that I have already filmed do not fill up most of it and are not very thrilling.

Whilst doing this, I am making constant check throughs on my trailer style models to check that the genre of my trailer is clear.

Added scenes

I plan to add a male voiceover to the current movie trailer. However, I do not have the character. I hope to find someone for an added character in the trailer and add a bit more diversity with the two characters being contradicted by each other. I plan to do this at the start using a separate voiceover of a woman to act as a psychiatrist. The main character will argue statements from this character.
