Tagline: "A comedy that doesn't let principles stand in the way of progress"
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama
As with the [500] Days of Summer poster, this too is a remake/variation of the original released Submarine poster. This means it is missing some basic conventions of film posters, which my post would need to have (such as a billing block etc). However, in terms of colour and layout in particular, I feel I can take a lot from this.
Colour scheme
I haven't really thought about the colour scheme of my poster, as I came to the conclusion that I would use sketches instead of photographs. This typically would be in grey pencil, but this doesn't mean the title has to be the same. The colours used in the Submarine posters are primary colours, which I feel connotes simplicity - something I like in a film/theme. The red box brings out the red of the female characters coat, and the blue the male characters - their coats prove to be quite iconic throughout the film. This concept could potentially work in my poster - bringing out colours which could be iconic. Although my drawings in the film may not be in colour, they could in the poster, representing the fact that the sketch is in fact also a filmed image (of which there would be colour).
Layout
I really like the split-screen layout of the poster, mixing titles amongst screen shots of the film - although I would still like mine to be with sketches. The colours blend in well together and I feel it just works well as an ensemble. The only flaw with this could be the fact screen shots often look as though a storyboard of the film has been splashed out on the page, which of course, I want to avoid. However, if the pictures used are not all significant points with in the film (giving the plot away), this would not be an issue.
Bold font
I like the way the font used for Submarine's poster is simple and sans serif. Many film posters, particularly of the romance genre, like to over-decorate their posters with fancy serif fonts that can often, in my opinion, look tacky, unprofessional and often become tricky to read. This poster however is straight to the point, giving it a more down-to-earth and professional feel, which is what I want. I was thinking of my font being "sketchy" in order to connote the title, although I now may consider a bold, capitalised font such as the one used in Submarine, as I feel my message can still be exhibited though using a sketch as the main image.
