Draft Layout 1

This poster layout was due to the inspiration of the strangers film poster. It is simplistic, but yet very effective, the powerful image is drawing in the audience. The title and the name of the actors, out of the 5 on the front there is only 2 actors names. Making the poster ambiguous is a very good way to gain an audience. I like this idea if we were to get the right image and taglines.

I like this layout, it is more complex than any other in the terms of putting a photo within a photo, this can be proved very effective if the editing of both images merge correctly. Again the film title, tagline and release date all at the bottom is common with horror posters.

This is my completely made up poster, it hasn’t been taken from an ideas of other posters. I like the way I have used adjectives, the words chosen for a horro poster would be in relations to negative connotations, these can stand out to the onlooker and draw them closer to read more details about the movie. Title is place nice and high at the top along with the main actors names, the main picture in the centre with the film tagline at the bottom all can be seen as effective if used presented correctly. Billing block is essential for a realistic look to a film poster as well as the associations. The staring of the film with maybe a review from a magazine is also another tool to increase the viewers of the film.
