Indesign and Photoshop workshop

In this workshop we had to create a film poster in Photoshop and InDesign - it had to be promoting the new film being released in 2014 around the global news story of the Chile miners being trapped in the mine for 33 days. The title of  the film is 'the 33' and this is all we were given to create our posters with. I started by first writing down initial ideas of the possible film poster. We were then given time to research into the story images and videos from the true event as this was the only reference that we had for the film. However when researching we knew that we needed to aim to create this for the screen. I found the image above and really liked the look as it was a photograph of a television with the live footage of the miners. I thought that this concept worked well with the news coverage that the event received at the time. I also like how the television project light into the dark background - as a symbol of hope.  I really like how the cave merges to the background which I intended to convey the darkest that the miners would have to be surrounded in for that long period. To further emphasis the digital television photograph that I used - I decided to used this digital looking font (New Courier). However after I looking at the work I realised that this remained me of a clock counting the time (which creates this suspense even without watching the film.
