Cinemas are facing challenging conditions and times.
The aim of this project was to create a poster design that will coincide with screenings of an iconic world cinema film, enhance audience connections with cinema, explore image and typography.
The brief, to interpret in a poster design, an iconic moment from the culturally significant film chosen, whilst working across Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
My practice based research focused upon the theme of Hostile, a French film written and directed by Mathieu Turi. (Film synopsis below)
Strong graphic ideas were used to communicate and make visible the intangible, emotional aspects of the iconic moment, including a display quote and supporting information.
Combining type & image, newly produced graphics & imagery.
Poster Animation - The motion-augmented version of the final movie poster, also created as a GIF, can be found below.
All visuals belong to myself. No imagery, footage or stills from the film were permitted or included.

Film Synopsis:
In a post-apocalyptic world, Juliet is a scavenger, driving a jeep to look for supplies for thirty-nine survivors that live with her. After a one-day travel, she is returning home when a photo of a man flies from the windshield and she tries to hold, but loses control of the car and capsizes. She faints and dreams of the man in the picture named Jack. When she wakes-up, she realizes that she is trapped in the jeep with broken leg

Along the night, she recalls her life before the apocalypse while defending herself from the creature. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Iconic Scene Hand Gesture:
Juliette is attacked during the night by a creature. The following morning they both wake, and the creature climbs on top of her, whilst she attempts to reload her gun.
It places its hand onto her face, full spread, and pulls it away in an almost grasping/stroking motion, as though sucking her face with its fingers.
It is at this point, Juliette's realization occurs, the creature is in fact Jack.
The hand gesture on her face throughout the film, has always been a loving form of communication between the pair, especially after Jack became sick and unable to speak.
