Q: What do you think of the overall layout of the Poster?

·         I thought that the poster was very well laid out, the simplicity and thje little it gave away is important to creating a sense of mystery and a fear of the unknown, essential to any good horror film.

·         Good, Follows the stereotypical movie poster with big picture, fun title, and quotes at the bottom.

·         Organised layout, good use of black and white colouring.

·         Really like the word ‘Light’ and the light bulb which light’s up the page and creates imagery.

·         Clear layout, I like the vague design, suggests a horror film clearly.

·         I like that the image takes up the majority of the poster which fits the generics of a horror poster, the black/ white grayscale effect works really well too.

Q: Do you think the image successfully fits the genre of the poster? And why ?

·         Yes because the lightbulb is dark and mysterious, its apparent mundane nature leave the audience wanting to know more.

·         Yes, as it gives a contrasting idea of what the film might be about as light is normally seenm as a good, safe thing but this poster portrays it as something dark and spooky.

·         The use of black and white creates a spooky atmosphere and there fore illustrates the genre of the film.

·         The use of the light expresses how something or someone in the film may have two sides to them- dark/ light. Hidden characters which light up in certain situations.

·         Yes- eerie and suggestive but without giving too much away.

·         Yes its suitably ambiguous yet fitting to the story too.

Q: In terms of the misenscene what do you think benefits the poster? What could be improved?

·         No real improvements, it was dark and simple, perfect.

·         Simple just like a movie poster should be, having it in black and white is very effective as it personifies the white, bright light.

·         Simplicity and use of black and white as colour would spoil the spooky effect

·         The colour is very simple but effective.

·         Contrast of black and light.

·         The title should maybe be moved to a black part of the background, therefore creating more contrast.

Q: Do you like the choice of text ? The font style? Why?

·         The font for the title is perfect and in keeping with the genre. But the font for the reviews looks a little out of place.

·         Very suitable for the poster as looks as if the title is a dim light.

·         I think the font at the bottom would be perfect if the text were more slightly moved across and spread out.
