Horror Film Posters

As part of our project I will also need to create a poster, advertising our film.

Therefore, I decided to look at posters that have already been created to see what conventions make a successful poster.

I noticed that:

• Red is a typical convention for text as it has connotations of blood.
• The posters are generally quite basic, so that they have a lasting impact.
• A tagline from the film is often featured on the poster.
• The main character is featured on the poster.
• Credits are noted along the bottom.
• The background is typically black, with white writing.
• The release date for the film is always included, as well as the minimum age.
  

The next plan

• is to focus on the disequalibrium section of our trailer.
• we've set a couple of days to go out and film
• and plan to edit as we go to make sure everything fits together properly.
• we've also prepared some of the costumes that we'll need to use, and have practised with face paint to make it look realistic.

Our trailer so far...

• We've managed to film quite a lot already, focussing mainly on the equalibrium at the beginning of the trailer.
• We've filmed a range of shots just incase something doesn't work as well as we think.
• Made sure theres continuity when necessary.
• We've also edited the beginning of our trailer, to make sure we have enough shots and angles.
• But the weather's been a problem, as because of the snow we havn't been able to go out as much as we wanted to.
