Drawing: Poster assignment

For this assignment we were told to make three poster for an animation that we have previously made, one being what the poster should be, another being an exaggereation and one which lies (implies that the animation is of a different genre). The animation I have chosen to make posters for is B.REX, where a scientist accidentally makes a bee transform into a monster, the B.REX (Bumblesaurus)

As it should be
In this poster the light emitted from the green substance makes shadows cast off the two characters. From this the audience can work out what the plot for the film is, as there is a kind of before and after thing going on in the poster as the characters at the front (a curious scientist and a small bee) act as the before; the two shadows at the back act as the after (the bee now a monster and the scientist cowering back). Since the shadows are from the light emitted by the green substance, we can work out that the green substance is the cause of this change. This poster appeals to a wide audience, specifically children.

The exaggeration
This poster is specifically aimed towards fans of action movies and is targeted towards a much older audience than the first poster is, as the art style is more mature and this poster contains blood and it has an overall violent feel to it. Also there is an explosion in the background, explosions are the calling card of action movies as it's a straight giveaway to the films genre, which is why explosions are featured in the background of so many poster, such as the poster for Mission Impossible 2 and the poster for The Worlds End

The Lie
This minimalist poster features the main character's shape as formed by many bees. The minimalist design of the poster (as inspired by the poster for the film Nebraska) gives the poster a more mature feel and gives the impression that this is an art house film. Unlike the other posters, which prominently show or imply a monster, this one it's just vaguely hinted (see the monsters head in the eye) and instead focuses more on the themes of regrets and consequences, as the main character appears to be consumed by bees, and the tagline states that the scientist will regret what he has done for a life time.
