Horror film poster research

In the world of media there are many different stereotypes that allow a certain film to relate to its genre when it comes to its presentation as a poster. It is incredibly important that when it comes to my research I take into account that my target audience will be of the age of 15 and over. Before I reach the design stage of actually beginning to create my film poster I wanted to gain a thorough and detailed understanding of the contents that go into actually making a poster, as well as use comparisons that will allow me to distinguish the most popular and successful film posters in order to benefit my own final design. When it comes to actually studying these posters and breaking them down individually I wanted to collect a range of different techniques that go into creating a successful film poster. In my research I have focused on looking into the Misenscene and text input within each of the posters, as well as the types of images used and the way the genre of the film is portrayed to the intended target audience.
