'Scarlet Red' Poster

This is the poster I created for a film that I came up with called 'Scarlet Red'. The film itself is based around the rough idea of a femme fatale, ironically named Scarlet Red who is wanted desperately by a local police/detective force. She plays a role in which see's her playing men for money and then changing her identity constantly as she tries to make a clean getaway from detectives to ensure that she will never be caught.

The film would include typical key conventions of film noir such as a love interest/triange, femme fatale and detective/authoriative role, aswell as including locations such as an office, bar, old style house and props such as venetian blinds, hat stands, old car radios and old fashioned telephones.

Yet the twist that would make this film different to the rest would be the reversed role of the femme fatale; she would have all key elements of a typical femme fatale yet she is the main culprit whom the police are after; prodimantly usually played by a male.

The poster itself was designed and drawn by me. I roughly sketched up an idea of how I wished the two main characters to be positioned. I had the femme fatale boldly at the front showing her dominance and rank of importance within the film, with the use of stacking behind her head to the right to show the main male detective who is after her; the positioning showing how she is always one step ahead. I felt that it was important to have the title of the film in red as this symbolises the idea of danger and love, aswell as ironically linking to her actual name. The caption "she's closer than you'd think" portrays the idea that although she is constantly changing her identity, she is actually under their feet the whole time and she may be closer to them than they are searching.
