The title of this colour film is HARU NATSU AKI FUJU春 夏 秋 冬Translated this is literallySpring Summer Fall Winter ... however the English title is FOUR SEASONSWe attached a series of screen shots from the film and also the computer generated Kanji characters. We will be updating the brief with the Japanese title characters which currently being hand painted.We require the post in two formats. One being the traditional poster format and the other being in a wide screen ration of 1000px by 465px. Same design.This is a drama, feature length film comprising of four separate stories. The is mixture of Japanese and English dialogue. We are looking at 2 possible designs. You can choose to submit either.1: A with lots of white space ... focussing on smaller images at the Japanese text. I have uploaded a sample poster as a very rough indication. "Things you can tell just by looking at her" / "Martha Marcy May Marlene" - Lots of white space.Ideally we would have liked to have had the image of the young girl in the kimono pulling on the bell rope clear cut and used on white as a single main image. However, we are not sure that the clarity or resolution of the original image is sufficient. 2: One with lots of images as you can see with the two "Tree Of Life" Sample posters.Obviously we are not looking for a copy of either poster, but these posters are a guide to the two looks we are after.Thanks. Hiroe
