Design an Oedipus Movie Poster

1. Design an Oedipus Movie Poster You know that Sophocles' Oedipus has all of the elements of a great movie drama—including a plot involving family secrets and murder, and a hopeless, tragic ending. That's why you're confident that you'll be able to complete the task that's been assigned to you: create a compelling poster that reflects the tragedy of the story and convinces moviegoers to see the film. As you begin conceptualizing your movie ad, you'll want to keep in mind the information below and use it to help you draw a rough sketch of your design idea. • Visual Appeal Your poster should feature images that will grab potential viewers' attention. You might achieve this objective by depicting one powerful, eye-catching scene or image from Oedipus—such as Oedipus angrily listening to Tiresias' "accusation" or a newly blind Oedipus reflecting on his fate. Or, you might choose to feature a collection of scenes and characters. • Powerful Quote or Tagline Of course, your poster can't work on the power of images alone. You might also want to include a dramatic quote from the play. The quote you choose should complement the poster's images. Together, these elements should effectively communicate the movie's tragic tone. Remember—the success of the movie depends on your creative abilities. Good luck!
