Responsive // Filmdoo: Initial Ideas

I decided to design a film poster for 'Her' as I really enjoyed this film, and it has developed characters and an interesting, unique plot.

Her is about Theodore, a soon-to-be divorcee who lives alone and is still struggling with the end of his long-term relationship. He purchases a new operating system that has artificial intelligence, called Samantha, who acts and talks like a real human. Theodore sparks an unlikely relationship with her.

Only certain things can be included in a film poster that do not spoil the story for potential viewers, so I will only be including possible imagery that reflects:

• reflects Theodores past relationship
• Theodores romance with Samantha

OR imagery that subtley hints at the plots twists in the film (such as the pitfalls of being so involved in technology). This can create curiosity in people, which makes them want to watch it.

Themes:

• heartbreak
• love
• technology
• loneliness

In the poster I want a simplistic design that clearly reflects love with a subtle at technology. I have come up with these thumbnails initially, using tall buildings as imagery often as Theodore lives in a futuristic Los Angeles, where all the buildings are skyscrapers. I think it reflects the future of society and how developed we will be.

The first two thumbnails show the camera from the OS, first as the equivalent to a human eye and second to seem like a faraway planet (as Samantha isn't real, and is just technlogy. She gets more intelligent throughout the film so by the end it seems as though she is real, but just somewhere far away.)
