First poster attempt

When creating my poster (link here to how I created my poster), I had a few different ideas when making it. Here are some drafts of my poster:


My first idea was a image of the main character but hidden behind the mask. In the character's eye would be a reflection of the little girl from the film trailer.

After many attempts, I realised to pull off this I would need a very creative images to work together. I tried many times but thought of other ideas I could do with the photos I took in my character poster photo shoot.

Here are some other small edits I tried with my images:

I took one image and expanded on it with some editing. I created a poster and asked around in my media class what people thought.

Even before asking, I was not impressed with this poster and therefore I decided I needed to make it look darker, more intimidating and like a psychological thriller.

Here are some edits I created on photoshop. Straight away I thought I was on to something good as I liked the change in the image.

 In the second edit of it, I made sure the face was more vibrant and therefore stood out more. I like the idea of a full black background as the film will be quite dark and daunting.

I added the extra information credits and my tagline, which I was both happy with.

Then I tried different coloured text.
One White with a Red outline.

 A second just plain Red.

 And a third, red with a black outline.

I genrerated a survery where I printed out a copy of each and gave to twenty members of my target audience to see which colour they preferred.

Red with a Black outline 15
When I asked these people what genre they thought the film was, they all said horror and some said 'horror/thriller'. When I asked why, they all said that the text reminded them of blood and therefore horror.

Even though my film features blood, it is not specifically a horror but a psychological thriller. Therefore, I am going to change the type of font so that is it more basic for a film poster (like the ones below) but stick to the colour of the one with the most votes. Red with a Black outline.
