DON'T SAY ANYTHING!

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW: To create a film poster from any genre of our choosing.

For this assignment, we were to create a movie poster from any genre of our choice, had to come up with the story synopsis and design the overall look and feel for what we wanted our poster to look like. We were allowed to grab images from the internet and edit them in Adobe Photoshop or illustrate our own custom graphics with custom lettering. Since I minored in illustration during my years at university, I decided I would create my own custom graphics and use my own custom typography. Below, you will find the movie summary I created with the help of ChatGBT, genre and rating specifics.

PLOT SUMMARY: When celebrated speech therapist Dr. Lena Cross (mid 40s) relocates to the quiet coastal town of Greyhaven after a high-profile scandal, she hopes to rebuild her life in peace. But the silence of the town hides more than just tranquility. Soon after her arrival, Lena is approached by Eli (mid teens), a mute teenager who communicates only through drawings. His artwork depicts a chilling crime — a masked figure, a silenced scream, and a bloodied lighthouse. When Lena brings it to the attention of the local authorities, she's met with resistance. The sheriff, Sherriff Geoffrey (late 60s) shrugs it off as “trauma-fueled imagination.” But Lena isn’t convinced As she investigates further, Lena uncovers an unsettling pattern: several townspeople have mysteriously disappeared over the last decade, each case swept under the rug, all victims known for “talking too much.” The deeper Lena digs, the more danger she finds herself in — her phone is tapped, her car sabotaged, and Eli suddenly vanishes [. . .] When Lena traces the mystery back to the town's founding families, she uncovers a secret society that enforces a brutal code of silence. Their motto: “What’s heard can’t be unheard.” Now, with the clock ticking, Lena must decode Eli’s final drawing and expose the truth before she becomes the next person who shouldn't have said anything.
