For the final poster design we had to consider what image should be used. We did not have an image of all four actors together in positions that suited the poster so instead we chose to select individual photos and edit them to into the background image. The background image is of a heathland that blends into a woodland. The land in the western and southern states consisted of a number of vast open plains and woodland so the location used for the background image suited the poster. Each image was chosen for a specific purpose. The images of The Stranger (The man in the brown hat and coat) and John Collins (The boy in the white shirt and black waistcoat) were used in the way they were to show how The Stranger is protecting John Collins. He is standing with one foot in front of him to signify his status and role. The revolvers, as previously mentioned, signify power by force.
The fact that the outlaw to the right (Floyd Harolds) stands revolver drawn and aimed present the idea of him being more hostile than The Stranger who stands relaxed with his revolver resting on his shoulder. All four of the characters are looking into the distance. The outlaw on the right (Jacob Ross) is looking into the distance with a look of determination. This was to represent how he is determined to find the person he has been asked to kill and will not let anyone stop him from doing this (The Stranger). 
The difference in the colour of the text used in the film title depicts the good and bad and the theme of morality in the film. For the above design we desaturated the image to create more of a gritty effect, however for the final poster we chose to use a blue tint to reflect the vibrance and high contrast of the landscape. (The poster on the left)We used a vignette on the poster to portray the idea that despite there being light in the time and place, there is an element of darkness surrounding those in the light.
The final poster uses a number of the ideas explained in other designs but overall has a slightly different effect.
