OUGD503 - Studio Brief 01 - LCA Film Society Poster Competition

Within Leeds College of Art the Film Society runs a monthly competition to design a range of posters for the films that are playing.

The briefs for Feb/March were released on 14th February. One possible film within the brief was Birdman (2015), which had a deadline of 10th March.



Birdman details the story of Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor known for playing the fictional superhero 'Birdman', as he struggles to embarks on writing and starring in his own Broadway play. The film is noted for it's cinematography and the use of scenery and colour throughout. Because of this one of the most appropriate response to the brief would be to focus on particular colours. Below are the examples of stills that formed the basis of the research and idea generation for this brief.
