Solidified Idea + Color Scheme

 Ok, so, I decided on what story I'm picking for this short film. After consideration, I decided to choose the gangster story. Why?, you may ask. It is my last project in high school, my last Media Studies film. Why not do something daring and large?. If executed well, this short film will be one I submit to film festivals and I would watch it over and over again for years to come. 

With the other story, it wouldn't have been as grand as this one could be, and last year, my film opening (JIM) would've shared a similar tone and character to the short film I would've been creating this year. After all, and this is probably the main reason, I really want to play a leading man gangster who conducts illegal operations, I'm such a huge Peaky Blinders fan that if I were to act in a role similar to those characters, it would be a dream.

Now on the color scheme of my production, I want to create an aggressive, passionate, and chaotic color scheme, at least for the poster and title of my production. My poster should indicate the general tone and story of short film. I have two other posters from highly acclaimed films, if I could culminate those two and get elements of both posters into one, it would be perfect.

                                                                              

The simplicity of GoodFellas, engulfed with the chaoticness of Babylon, is what I want to go for. Also, I will most likely use a shot from the film itself as the key art or even the main poster, as I feel that approach is the most effective. 

For the title design, I aim to do something in the lines of black and white or black and red, as it gives off that aggressive, violent, dark feel. Here's an example of two highly successful gangster movies in which I would attempt to garner something similiar. 

The poster from Scarface would be something I would consider going for.
