I like the fact that in these posters the face of the creatures are kept ambiguous to the audience, which is why the audience go to watch the film to find out who the character is. I also like the fact that the phone plays a key feature in the one missed called poster, which suggest that the phone may be a key object in the film. I took this to consideration for my trailer which involves a supernatural creature and also includes a phone.

Tagline which is used to attract the audience, also putting the audience in a hot seat asking them a question they know nothing about.

The phone, which suggest to the audience that it will be a key object in the film. This idea was inspired by the one missed call poster

The tree branches suggest to the audience where the location of the film will be, which will in the woods.

General convention of most film posters by having the title of the film at the top of the poster. The colour scheme will be black and red which is a convention used in horror posters.Music notes with

red blood dripping down, which gives the audience a hint to the narrative of the film.I want to make the creature the centre of attraction by making the image large, the face of the creature will also be kept ambiguous to the audience.Company logo and other information here.

I want to use these magazine covers has an inspiration for my magazine cover because of the aspects in which they include such as; the font colour Red which is a Horror convention and also a colour that stands out in each of these magazine covers, it catches the attention of the reader. I will be using Empire as my brand name because of its reputation, and lastly I like the fact that in each of these magazine covers they also focus on a object which conveys to what the film is about e.g. Gun and a Wand which is something I will be taking into consideration for my magazine cover.

This is where I will put the Barcode.

This is to make sure that the reader flicks through the pages to find out who is calling.

I was not sure which poster to pick for my film, both posters include inspirations from films Wilderness (Left poster) and Blair Witch Project ( Right poster). I decided to go for the poster on the right because I felt that it conveyed more about my horror film than the other poster, I found that the other poster was too plain.

I chose these two photos for my film poster because I felt that they related more to my second

draft trailer of demon wood, whilst the other photos I thought had to do more with my first draft Pick

Up. I wanted the photo of the woods to be the background of my poster , this inspiration came from other Horror trailers based in the forest or woods where they would use the background to

suggest the location of the film. I chose this photo also because it creates a sense of isolation and

suspense.

I also chose this photo for my poster because this is the main character that will appear in all stages of my marketing campaign, I wanted the face of the character to remain unknown to the

audience to build tension with the audience wanting to know who it is, This inspiration came

from film
