Examples of Posters related to 'A Truncated Parable of Complete Normality'

In the film poster we want to be in a position where it reflects the film and most of its story giving it a sense of intrigue to the film and appeal to it. We therefore decided to pick mainstream and individual films which would make sense for the film as we only have 5 minutes for the film and whilst we feel our film is independent, we feel it may be helpful to learn from various independent films.

The Source Code

The Source Code is a prime example we may use as inspiration for the film and for the film poster as it shows the protagonist Colter Stevens in unlocking a mystery on a train. As part of this, he is stuck in a virtual world and is brought back into a real world to solve the code. This links as part of the poster as the scales which break apart can represent the different worlds being both virtual and real life. This relates to the design of the poster as until the first train explosion the protagonist does not realise he is from a program which is from a virtual world and is controlled by someone. As a result of this we may decide to use elements of this poster for the film as the big twist in the film reveals that our protagonist is a virtual world character and not someone who is real so we may decide to use the protagonist breaking through the barrier to show what was real and what is not.

The Matrix 

The Matrix is another example we may use in terms of posters as contains various things which works as part of our story and for the genre we are doing being a crossover of drama, psychological thriller and also on the borderline of science fiction. One of the big things we may consider the possibility of colour for the film poster as the big reveal explains that our protagonist is a virtual game character and not real. This is something we may decide to maybe hint in the film poster as whilst we want our audience to get an idea about the film and what it does contain we don't want our audience to immediately get the twist that he isn't real. We therefore will be careful when considering the colour of the posters and the possible graphics we might place on the poster.
