Draft poster

This image was origionally the draft that I was going to use when it came to editing and choosing my images. I liked the way in which the background image contained the light itself, which was something that I felt was essential within my poster in order to give my target audience the chance to make up their own minds as to what my film is about. The text itself is well done and I thought that by making it slightly out focused added extra effect towards the idea of the unknown, as well as promoting the feeling of confusion and mystery. I wanted to stick to having more of a central image which follows more of professional outlook and allowed me to use the small space to input my critics quotes and ratings.

This is my draft for my first ancillary task of my horror film poster. I wanted to make sure that I incorporated the stereotypical conventions that would allow my poster to portray a professional impression on my target audience, as well as create an atmosphere that established my chosen genre of a horror. The use of no colour draws most of the attention to the light bulb centred in the middle of the poster; this also adds effect to the name of my film and allows my narrative to link with it easily. The lighting is bright with the use of dark edges; this allowed me to portray quite an eerie image which would, therefore attract my target audience into watching my trailer. I wanted to make sure that the type of font I used suited the genre, which meant that it was important for me to stick to my overall simplistic misenscene. I wanted to make sure that my target audience were left guessing as to what the trailer would be like as well as what the storyline is.
