Teaser Poster!!

Just wanted to share with y'all the completed teaser poster and Design Proposal. The proposal I had updated with the revised story. This isn't the same one I handed in with the poster :/

These pixies are trippy! <3 them! Notice the dragon between the trees ;)







Blah.. Probably can't read it :( 
Here:

Plot

Etta Mars is an orphan who was raised in an orphanage since before she can even remember. When she turns 18 she’s entitled to her parents’ inheritance, and she finds out that her parents have left her a house in this town in the middle of nowhere. So, once she moves into the house, she finds a cellar door hidden behind a bush. When she opens the door, she’s pulled into the doorway by a force and she finds herself in a beautiful forest full of magical creatures. As she explores the forest, she meets a unicorn steed by the name of Acorn.

Acorn then tells her about the kingdom and about the King and Queen. The King and Queen were cherished and respected for decades, ruling the kingdom of Terraverde. Then, one day, 17 years ago, an evil Dragon Witch killed the king and queen. Upon realizing the threat of danger, the queen’s right hand maiden and closeted sorceress, Willow, took their one-year-old baby, Princess Etta and cast her out into the real world and away from the evil clutches of the Dragon Witch. The Dragon Witch continues to destroy the kingdom under her rule, letting evil magic and creatures from the dark forest to occupy most of the magical green terrain of the kingdom. Little does she know that Princess Etta still lives on and is destined to fight for the throne as the rightful heir.

Etta realizes that the Princess he talks of is herself. She’s never known anything about her parents, aside from what the old house holds. At first she doesn’t believe the unicorn. As if the unicorn has gotten her mixed up with someone else. But as she spends more time in Terraverde, she starts having dreams of her parents. And it all seems just too real. As if the dreams were from her distant memories. She realizes it is her duty as a princess to fight the Dragon Witch, reclaim her place as the rightful heir to the throne and release the kingdom from the cruel tyranny.

The movie will portray her struggles in fighting the Dragon Witch before finally claiming victory and restoring the kingdom of Terraverde to it’s former glory.

Genre:

Fantasy with a touch of horror.

Design Hook: 

An enchanted forest with hidden magical creatures and floating luminescentfairy lights in the background.

Visual Concept:

I wanted to do a very magical yet eerie look on this poster. I chose a picture of a young Caucasian woman in draped in a white hood, with very harsh dramatic lighting from above, illuminating most of her face. Then I used an image of a dark forest on a foggy morning with nice soft light and lots of talls tree trunks. I put in an overlay of white mist to make it look more mysterious and creepy. Then, I different images of magical creatures such as a white ghostly sorceress, a unicorn and a dragon and implemented them into the background. To add to the magical effect, I dotted in little small white specks and added a slight bright yellow outer glow to make them look luminescent and bright. Then I also hid unidentified silhouettes in the distance to show presence of other creatures. I intended to make the poster look like a fairy-tale magical forest, and I believe the luminescent fairy lights in the dark forest really captures that.
