Filmdoo movie poster competition

 

This is my entry for Filmdoo's movie poster competition. I decided to approach this brief in a very straightforward fashion - re-watch the film and come up with a simple image that sums up the film quickly. The film itself is very simple, focusing on the relationship between the father character and his daughter, so I decided to illustrate what I considered to be quite a touching moment that shows this.

Visually, I was experimenting with hard shading mixed with gradients and applying texture so the image wasn't too flat. I'm not sure how successful this was for the purpose of this poster, but it's a technique which I think creates some interesting effects, so I'm happy I tried it out.

Conceptually, maybe I didn't push the image far enough? If I had thumbnailed more before jumping right into it, I may have been able to whip up something more interesting. The lack of concept has me wanting to do another poster if I have time
