Between the devil and the deep blue
The reasoning behind our short film's title is rather straight forward. We took the predicament of our main character and tried to think of a good way of articulating it. In the end we settled for 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue' as it is a synonym for stuck between a rock and hard place. This effectively reflects the characters predicament. He is stuck between the devil in the form of his mother and the deep blue, which normally would mean an equally hard place but in our film it can also represent the unknown world without his mother that the boy is setting off to.
This is the final movie poster, we decided that the less said the better as it was meant to be a mysterious film and giving away too much in the poster might defeat the point of the film. On that note the idea of placing both women on the poster was scrapped because it would reveal too much too early and remove one of the most compelling plot points. This is the final draft of the movie poster and I believe it that it came out amazingly well. The review looks exactly as we planned it in the planning stage. The banner image is eye catching as it looks like The Friend is staring out at you and the bold red banner draws the reader in. We elected to give our review four stars to avoid looking arrogant andwe included links to where the reader might view our film in the bottom right.
