Title: I wanted the title to bold and readble on every poster so i had to choose the font carfully and also had to text out diffrent methods to have black writing on a black main image and finally came up with an out glow which made it readble. Also another reason i wanted to have the outglow was to have the title looking like a car head light is shinning from behind it as its called the last drive and we use the car headlights alot throughout the trailer.
The last exorcisum's font is nearly the same as mine though its on a dirty white back ground so its readble. The title is in the same place as i feel that we both wanted to have the main image as the fouce to catch the audiences attention.
Main image: Both main images are very diffrent due to the story line though with my poster ive chanlenged conventions. Most horror film posters and other genre's have a clear image of atleast on of the characters in the film. But with my poster i wanted to keep it very mystriouse and the picture i took of the location done that all for me with the trees and the long winding lane.
I didnt just want the location as my main image i used a sillouhet of a man running to represent the gilrs running in the trailer and also the protagianist running towards something. I also wanted the pram in there just like the trailer as the pram is the starting to everything thats happend. Even though i changlled conventions i feel that the main image looks very effective.
Quote: Most film posters have a quote or a saying which gives the audience a hint or glimpse into what the film might lead onto. This is very common in horror film's as they want to make the audience a little on edge just be reading it. Like my poster and the one shown as the example both the quotes are at the top of the page as it will be the first thing you read just like a trailer going: image,caption,title.
With my quote i wanted to keep the audience on edge so the words death gave me that edge. I also hightlighted it the same as i did with the title to match and also make sure it was read able.
Actors names: The first poster we done we didnt have the actors names in it as we thought it looked better without but after we had some feed back and looked more into horror film posters we relised that maybe using the same font and low outline to have the names in wouldnt look so bad and would fit in, and it did. With the example film poster it doesnt have the names though i still think there both as effective, just ours has a little more information.
Imforamtion: We didnt use alot of information as we thought it would be a poster before the trailer came out. Though same with the example poster there is not much information on there aswell. We both has company names and logos at the bottom which keeps in the legal guide lines if this was real.
