About The Poster

As soon as I decided on doing the fake movie poster exhibition, I knew there was going to have to be at least one zombie movie poster in there. Dawn Of The Chavs is an idea I’ve had for a short film for a long time, it’s obviously a spoof of Dawn Of The Dead and the idea is pretty much the same only instead of zombies they’re chavs.

This poster was one of the first posters ideas I put together, although it wasn’t originally intended for the exhibition, it was more of a practice exercise to figure out how to make images appear through text like in a lot of teaser posters. Thomas came in to the studio one day for a chat about all things photography and while he was there I asked him to make some faces for me. I then put the teaser poster together in rough form and moved on to the idea I had for the main poster.

After several attempts to shoot the main poster failed because the actor didn’t show up for the shoots I went back to the teaser poster and finished it off. The idea for the main poster is still burning a hole in my head, I’m going to do a bit of recasting and hopefully I’ll be able to shoot it then.

This is the only poster that doesn’t feature a Kilkenny location so I simply used black and amber for my colour scheme instead. It’s not cheating because I make up the rules as I go along!?
