For my movie poster and DVD cover, I chose the movie ‘Oh Brother, Where art Thou’. It’s about 3 escaped convicts in search for a hidden treasure while a relentless law man pursues them. It stars George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. It’s based on Homer’s Odyssey and two main themes to the movie are ‘Sometimes, you have to loser your way to get back home’ and ‘They have a plan, but not a clue’. It’s an action filled comedy based in Mississippi in the 1930’s.
In the poster, I want to show that the movie is filled with adventure, but also comedy. I would like to use images of the characters running or in the middle of an action filled adventure along with images of the characters faces that show each of the characters personalities. Colors in my poster will be browns and dull, natural colors because that is what the whole movie is portrayed as. Below, I have added a few images from the movie and some images of posters for the movie.
The following are some thumbnails I drew for my poster as well as some thumbnails I drew for the DVD case.
