Finished idea

This is the film poster that I created for our film. I decided to take the idea from our first idea  as I felt that it was one of our strongest. Furthermore I felt that hand idea displayed a lot of symbolism which is key in any revolutionary poster. Over the years revolution posters mostly have striking imagery for instance in the time of the Russian revolution most of the posters were bright and conveyed their message through image because most of the audience it was aimed at could not read. Furthermore the use of image can be powerful and relate to the audience well. In the image above I decided to take inspiration from my research into Stefan Sagmeister, Amanda Palmer's video 'the way back' and the Daft hands music video which show the impact of writing on skin. Putting text on skin can suggest a lot of symbolism. I decided to use red text because it is so bold an stands out on the skin of my model. I have used the hands in a revolutionary expression to emphasis a need for change. I did photograph this image portrait however it didn't work as well when looking at the rest of the body so I decided to keep it landscape even though it isn't the normal film poster. If I was going to redo this I would have added more information on the arm - looked into different typography and make the overall work a lot neater.
