OUGD406 (Studio brief 3) Armageddon research

Firstly I started to brainstorm Armageddon. The first things that came to my head were things to do with the solar system, and all planets but earth, as armageddon suggests the end of everything. Armageddon in the bible is seen as a scene of a final battle between the forces of good and evil. 

Armageddon is a 1998 American science fiction disaster drama film, directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and released by Touchstone Pictures. The film follows a group ofblue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop a gigantic asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It features an ensemble cast including Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Owen Wilson, Will Patton, Peter Stormare, William Fichtner, Michael Clarke Duncan, Keith David and Steve Buscemi.

I watched this film and it was about a group of oil rig workers that are requested to stop an asteroid from hitting earth in order to save the planet. There is a prominent theme of love and connection within this film and also bonds that can not be broken. 

When watching the film I noted down some key words:

meteor shower

global killer

telescope

end of all things

nasa

space 

shuttle

Existing Armageddon movie poster: 
The existing armageddon movie poster consists of a typical explosive background and photograph of main characters,. I don't think this is a very effective movie poster as it has the expected elements that a space movie poster would include. The type is not a good choice for the theme of this film, I think a sans serif font should have been chosen instead.
