This will addto the validity of the real story.We plan to focus on one main character caught up in thesituation. She wants to escape and was one of the few that wasinterviewed by the journalist but was to afraid to leave with him.She will be used as the focus in the poster magazine cover andteaser trailer. 10. POSTER IDEASWe are going to have our finalposter with the main character beingthe focus, we want to include thehand as it shows the power of JimJones and the control he had overthe members of the project. We likethe way the title is written with thefont getting smaller as it giveselements of a documentary. Wehave chosen to have two titles sothat people that are aware of theevent know that the film is based onit. 11. MAGAZINE COVER IDEAS We have decided to include the main character again in the magazine cover so that theaudience begin to recognize the face and connect it to the film. We have planned to useEMPIRE magazine as they would be the type of magazine to review a real life thriller. Weare going to use the theme of black and white in the magazine cover as it is the colourthat we have used in the poster and it creates more a formal, structured look representingthe simplistic and controlled lifestyle that Jim Jones created.
