At the time of designing the poster, I thought that the star would be a nice way to link back to the song “Dream a Little Dream of Me”. Specifically the line “Stars shining up above you”. This is also referenced with the addition of the spotlight gleaming down from said star and onto the equipment at the bottom of the poster.
The projector itself is in reference to the equipment and setup my team and I used to record the footage for the video sequence. I would have added a desk behind (or under) the projector but I decided to scrap the idea later, what with it feeling out of place for the seemingly sureal atmosphere and all.
Whilst still on the drawing board, the colours for the poster were initially just going to be white and black to give it a more…minimalist feel. However, after much consideration, I deemed the colour scheme to be boring and so added in the blue light you can see shineing down from the star.
This therefore allowed the more intresting aspects of the poster – mainly the blue star and the title- to pop against the black backgroud, while still keeping the minimalist fell.
