Serenity Movie Poster | Comps
Step 3 entailed researching imagery and poster comping. The ensemble TV show “Firefly,� was the basis for the film, which came to life after the series was canceled. The film focused on the storyline between the pilot Mal and one of his passengers, River. The comps show two directions, one showing the whole cast, and one focusing on the primary characters.
