Final version for our childrens' film poster "STANDBYE".
Main idea by Chris Dean, collaboration between Adam Dean, Haran Timana and Sam Pearson.

We were asked to create a poster for a selected genre. We had already been discussing features of the Children's genre and with this decided to make the poster on this genre as well.

Early stages there was much debate as we struggled for an idea that hadn't already been done. We considered changing genres but then an idea started to develop. I originally thought of an idea at which there was a world in which all of the electrical appliances were controlled by small creatures who lived in these appliances. This then developed and we decided on a title "Standby". From this title we then decided that the creatures were having to work even when appliances were on standby. As a result of this the leader, of the creatures, left. It was at this point we decided on the final title "Standbye" a play on the words standby and goodbye, two main points of the film.

We then planned the poster in rough, right, which turned out very similar to the final piece.

We believe we were successful in making our film poster and also discovered how story lines develop throughout the thought process.
