Shifty is a low-budget British urban drama which holds a number of similarities in the narrative, focussing on the life of young men and their struggles. This poster above shows a number of techniques which I may be interested in to use in my film poster. The bright yellow and the contrasted black title gives this poster a simplicity and also helps it to stand out and draw attention from walkers on the street. The main photo of the two young males seated is an image that I am hoping to use with my main character posing on the left side and right side of the poster symbolising his change from "bad" to "good" and also enlightening the audience to my narrative, especially as this image will be accompanied by the title of the film in bold saying, "Redemption". The title vividly stands out but the thing that I am most interested in is the use of the 'I' in "Shifty"dividing the two characters up, I believe I can use this with my film to symbolise the change in lifestyle for my main character and the divide between the past and the future without giving too much of the narrative away. "24 Hours To Deal Yourself Out" - This tagline seen above is very dramatic and would certainly encourage people to go see this film if they are interested in the lives of those who grow up on the streets and are less privileged and therefore must resolve to drug dealing to pay off debts or stay alive.
