Posters

After starting my book of images of the clothes and watching the films again, I thought it would be nice to create a kind of movie poster to go with my work.
As I don't want one final piece I want various pieces to conclude what I have found.

The original posters for the films, each poster show the two leading actresses and Carry Grant. Along with showing parts of the films such as the roof tops, the boat and sun. Which helps give you an idea of the film. I like how they almost look hand drawn/made, which gives it that authentic feel and just by looking at them they tell you they are old. I would like to modernise them and put my own style into them. 

Looking at the scene's, The Firework scene and The Bell scene, where both actresses get intimate with Carry Grant. I have chosen these as the images I would like to draw as I think they are the most romantic parts of the film and the scene's that stand out the audience.  

Here I was playing with the type and playing with image of her, I like this image as the dress is so iconic along with the scene. I kept it simple by not having to much detail as I thought this ruined the image, the next step is to decided on the font etc. 

Here are my new designs for the posters I played around with the fonts Futura and Chanel that I downloaded off the internet. Chanel font I used for my book as well, I thought this old fashioned typeface suited the poster and book well as I thought it gave both hand written appeal.  I was going to use Futura as the main quote typeface as I thought the contrast would work however I don't think when I printed them looked right and it was to busy. I think the same font works better. 

The same idea came with the houseboat poster. I tried out the same layout's etc as To catch a Thief. 

I wanted to find a picture of Sophia Loren on her own however I couldn't find one but I do think this picture works as it shows how different each character is in each movie. I also like the difference in each poster, I also wanted to show the Firework and Bell scene in one image and these images represent them. For Houseboat I was gong to draw a bell however I thought this would not fit in with the rest of my work, after watching the clip again I think this is a more of an appropriate image, more than a bell. The quote would also not help the bell image. 

These two are the design's I chose to become the new film posters. I had them printed on A2, professionally. This has given the posters a more of a final finish and they look great printed.
