The second film that I saw with similar themes to our film is called The Squid and the Whale. This is a film by Noah Baumbach about a small family of four during the first year of the mother and father’s divorce. The divorce theme is similar to our film along with the independent autuer style. This poster has many elements of an indie film style included within it. Firstly we begin with the characters in the foreground who are all in a circle having a serious discussion, this gives enigma for what this will be about in the film. We then look into the background which is drawn, this shows an idyllic setting for a family showing it is in the past. Finally we look at the titles, these are of the actors and the filmmaker, this is typical of a independent film to only show the main well known actors and the director or writer. We want to include this type of feel in our final poster i.e. A BURGESSRABIN FILM.
During the summer holiday, we were beginning to think about what type of subject matter we wanted to tell. Luckily as we were struggling to find an idea, we saw this film. This is a feature film about a young girl in america, who has a father who lives in London, and whose mother is on a world tour with her band. This was a huge inspiration for us in terms of subject matter as we also wanted to tell a story of divorce. This poster has a black vignette which gives it a dream like feel. In the poster we see Maisie who is in the centre, this gives the audience a good idea that the film is based around her. To the left and to the right, We see two people surrounding Maisie, this gives the audience questions before they even go into the film of who these people are. The main colour scheme in the poster is yellow, red and black.
