Starting off the initial stages of the project, I began by practicing different strokes in illustrator. This could then be used to visualise the strikes in baseball in an almost chalk effect. This further gave me the idea to make the strikes look as though they are combined together as a picket fence.
My next idea was to try to visualise the baseball hanging from a rope in the back yard scenes of Fences. This prop was found several times throughout the film and was referenced several times, along with the baseball bat. The idea I had in mind was to try and create a minimal approach to the poster, displaying the rope and ball hanging at the centre of the design.
After seeing several examples of existing movie posters and the layouts used for their design, I started to sketch several visual representations of how the poster could potentially look and what the ideal font could be.
The idea to represent a picket fence in the previous idea also gave me the idea to try this using the title of the film. For example, the planks of wood found in a picket fence could be displayed as each letter of the Fences title. If these ideas do not work during development, then the alternative approach could be to focus on the photographs of characters and how they can combined or reflective of the letters of the title.
