Planning for production: Advancements to film poster

Planning for production: updates to film poster

Since the first attempt of the film poster I have made some small differences; production details have now been added as well as actors names, and web address details for the movie and a date change. I have also changed the positioning of the movie name as I feel it is more attention drawing at the top of the page and the brighter shade of red makes it more eye catching

Planning for production- movie poster

 This is the beggining of our film poster, we are yet to include a picture, production details and final touches but this forms the basis of a horror movie poster.

To get inspiration for our film poster, I decided to look at other horror film posters in order to help us include the correct features and conventions that  a poster should include. When researching we came up with the following: typography/font of  a horror poster is generally distorted, suggestive of death/blood (through use of red) or a bold, block capital font that connotes danger e.g. JAWS, other features include a tagline which is implicative of the moral/message of the film e.g. ''You have been warned'' ''If something frightening happens to you today think about it'' in The Omen poster, a frightening image containing horror iconography or an enigma code. e.g. a silhouette, a scary figure ect, the use of monochrome or dark colours and red. 

More generally, all film posters happen to contain iconography which show without telling- the themes are presented as opposed to directly saying what the film is about, imagery is used to establish the film's plot e.g. one simple graphic which gains attention and interest in one go. e.g. the use of the red lips and tongue dripping with blood in Jennifers body which allows you to understand what the film is about- would appeal to horror fans as it immediatly connotes some kind of violence/blood lust and offers sex appeal. Secondly, a style is developed that is consistent with the film e.g. stylized imagery should be used which is reflective or even used in the movie. A film poster should also have recognisability- meaning it is relveant and uses features from other posters of the same genre, using the same style and design allows fans of the horror genre to identify and develop interest in the poster if it is relevant to what they have seen before.

Along with this production company name, the name of directors, starred films and the name of the actors should also be included.
