POSTER IDEAS

Harry and I together came up with some initial ideas for our film poster. We thought about our opening sequence in which Amelie descends the staircase, and this gave us the idea of an imitation of Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending A Staircase" which involved one image made up of a still from each shot of Amelie on a different stair. By changing opacity of the stills the stairs would seem to stay in one place, while Amelie is a blur bumping down the stairs.

Our next similar idea was using the same series of stills, but in the style of Eadweard Muybridge's original "Nude Descending A Staircase". Using each still in black and white with a grainy texture to make them look a similar style to the original images.

Another of our initial ideas was after looking at this poster for "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close". If we wanted to follow a more conventional route for our poster, something similar to this would work well as it is quite and intense and full-on close-up. The fact that the boy has his hands across his face fits well with our film as it reflects the feeling of being trapped that our characters feel.

The final of our initial ideas was based around an image we found called "An Autistic Brain". It is a collage which we both thought that when tailored towards our film could be and interesting and more quirky way of presenting our film.
