I have never used Photoshop before so first of all I decided to physically draw out an idea that I had for a poster for our film and then I would be able to build from there.
Although,it is rough, this is the initial idea that I had for our poster. I had the idea of having 2 men shown without barely any facial features, especially not eyes. I decided not to show the eyes as I feel like eyes would give away too much about a character and I would like to keep the audience guessing to the characters, especially when I would be involving the gun. I want the 2 men in suits and shaking hands. This is to make the scene seem completely normal and professional, which relates back to the title of the film. This idea sets up the film to be professional and formal, yet involving the gun turns this idea on its head. I chose the idea of hiding the gun behind the back of one of the men because this would indicate secrets, secrecy and deceit. These are clear themes through out the film.

I would like for the background of the poster to be blurred or even darkened to the point where you cannot see anything. I would like to do this as it isn't the focal point of the poster and I would like even the rest of the poster to be in black and white apart from the gun. I took this idea from the poster for the film Identity (see right) in which most of the poster is in monochrome and the blood is the only thing with colour. It effectively shifted focus onto the blood which presents a dangerous tone and would be certainly effective in our poster too.
I feel as though this overall idea would be effective for our film as it is a mysterious idea that also seems like something that an audience might see everyday. To involve this element of an ordinary scene with a dark extraordinary twist is certainly a thrilling element and would successfully cause the audience to question the ordinary situations they have been in, relate to the film in some way and anticipate what is to come.
