Preparing negatives for screen printing:

Currently, I have developed this design into this piece, the foreground consisting of portraits of the 3 main characters in a halftone way, the background should reflect the 'stolen Sats papers' falling and also various paper aeroplanes as it's a school based film.
This collection of layers will be all in one colour which will be a lime green to reflect school following on from my research, I felt that the typical crimson or royal blue would be very gender subjective, where i'd class this film as one that would be unisex, and gender diverse. 


The Type Monaco, which is a gothic font, is one I chose as I felt it slightly reflected school and a formal, clean cut way of reading text. It has been commented on that this font has connotations to school and education etc.
I have chosen for this layer to be in a crimson red colour, to contrast with the green, I also would have liked to over lay the crimson colour over more of the design, to represent the bullet shots from the paintball gun and leave the movie cover very ambiguous and open to interpretation.
So far, I haven't managed to create this part of the design, so I possibly may just leave the outcome how it is. 

I felt the final outcome would look very detailed as a screen print, but in an effective way, in theory, the only pieces of high detail are the character's faces, which are half toned photographs.
