New poster ideas + Inspiration board

After further research into posters and front covers I have decided to change my idea for the initial poster. I was inspired by the Max Pane poster to create something that relates to vandalism. Using the "Banksy" style of graffiti to create a sillouete of the main characters. Using this technique it would be easier to implement other things which would blend in together on a wall.

Production Meeting Ideas

After discussing several issues involving things such as the name, cast and screenplay we have came up with several ideas for the trailer. First being the involvement of a foreign languages, such as Italian or Polish. This has allowed us to develop the first scene being a prologe between the Godfather and his father being in a church, where the father gives him a life lesson which is later applied also to Jason's life to show that the two characters grew up in a somewhat similar way. This scene would be in Polish and it would have subtitles.  For this we would use my brother as the younger version of myself and my dad as the godfathers's father. This religious aspect has also allowed us to come up with a name for our movie. This had allowed me to come up with some names in Latin such as Advocatus Diaboli, Peccavi, Invicta which all have some sort of relation to the film, however this idea was further developed by looking at the story of Cain and Abel in the old testament and allowed us to conclude with a name "Son's of Adam" focusing on this religious aspect is also a convention of gangster movies which we have missed out on in our initial pitch.

Sketches for initial ideas

Poster:

I have initially came up with the idea of the poster being a split image poster, looking at this sort of design I have found that it is relatively popular although most of the posters looked similar. The poster  which stood out the most was The Ides of March poster which I have decided to use as my main inspiration. It reflects the main motive of the main character which is to be like the main boss(seen on the magazine in the poster) but it also shows that the boss is successful and that the main character wants to be like him, it also shows that their similarities. 

     

The main idea for the magazine front cover came from the batman magazine where you can see him aiming down the sight this inspired me to do this, in this image we can see the main boss aiming the gun at the camera which would feel intimidating for the audience which portrays the sort of character he is
