Adulthood and Kidulthood Posters

"Kidulthood" and "Adulthood" are urban dramas with strong violence, drug use and sexual scenes, they try to exemplify what it is like to live on the streets. With my film I am showing what it is like to come out of prison with no prospects, no family and nowhere to go except back to the old life which got my main character into prison in the first place. The thing which most stands out to me in both these images is the use of a dramatic skyline in the background over the high rising flats in the urban city of London. This is something which I am intrigued to use in the background of my film poster. Also the characters address the audience with strong stares at the camera which look menacing especially with the inclusion of weapons such as baseball bats. With the life of the youths in these two films being similar to that of my main character, I will perhaps try and use this effect of addressing the audience with bold facial expressions and try to convey the theme of my film with use of props and costume.
