This is the movie poster for If I Stay. The colours used are very autumnal which can relate to my movie as it is set over autumn and winter.
I like the way the image is split into 12 squares and that some of the original image is replaced with other images. The range of shots used works really well as it shows that they are separate events. The main image is a close up which is good to show the main character. The image is filtered with an orange/brown colour and a straight face. Her emotions shows that she seems disappointed or confused about something which will draw the audience in as they will be curious. The image in the top left corner may cause the audience to question the movie as she is standing in front of him but he is looking straight over her head. The image next to this has a white tone and she is wearing loose clothing. The white tone connotes purity and she can be seen as an angelic figure which may suggest death in the film. There is a low angle on a couple which may suggest these are people she looks up to. I like the use of spilt image as it makes it different to other movie posters. I have decided that I want to use a split image in some way on my poster maybe to show the split in the friendship.
The slogan "live for life" works well with the title of the film as it seems to make her decision. It might make the audience question the ending of the film as it seems the slogan may have given the ending away. So will be curious to watch to find out what her choices are and how she makes them. For my slogan, I don't want to make it obvious what the films about and just want to draw the audience in.
The title looks like the main character could have written it herself in a diary entry or an informal letter to her friends because of the lack of capitalisation. Also the font looks like it is a girls handwriting. I want to use a font similar to this in my movie to make the audience feel more engaged because they may feel personally connected to the main character as it seems as if it is an insight into their lives.
