Designing the Film Poster

I have looked at some film posters that have very art-house looks to them, using desturated colour, 'Brick' is an example of one of these. After looking at these I have taken some of my own photos that I can then go onto manipulate into a film poster thinking about packaging the key attributes of the film, creating a selling point/caption, the mise-en-scene and trying to create a leading line in the poster.

I feel these could be the basis of a good and effective film poster, so I will experiment with these and see which one works the best.
