After choosing the most suitable photographs/screen grabs in a previous post and testing mixes of different images using fading layers and overlaps, I decided to use a single image as it is clear and more powerful than several images. A bold photograph that captures character emotion and the essence of the film was needed leaving me with this (below) as the best choice.
I am currently planning to use the concept of displaying text in a bar at the bottom like other posters of this genre do, leaving the title and the image boldly exposed.
Here I am using a 16:9 crop to match that of my film. This size was chosen as it is 1080p which suits the resolution of modern monitors and HDTVs.
Here I am using a 5x8 crop which leaves slightly more space for titles and text. Subtle crop techniques include cropping half-way on a knuckle rather than trimming a knuckle off as that makes the character appear deformed and a pre-crop was done to pull the characters slightly to one side rather than exactly in the middle.
