Poster: Idea 3

What I find effective on this idea:
On the ‘Coming Soon’ I feel the barbwire effect works very well as it creates a creepy effect and also it fits in with the plot of the film (Escaping)

The actors names at the very top I feel work well, using different coloured fonts allows it to stand out and also makes the poster interesting as it is mainly bland colours.

What I do not find effective on this idea:

My main image I feel is not big enough, I feel if I had a larger image which took up more room would allow the poster to be a lot more attractive an eye –catching.

The title of ‘PLAY’ I feel needs to be larger in size. If I want to attract audiences I need to ensure everything is as big as possible, not leaving much free space like in this sketch.

Poster: Idea 2

What I find effective on this idea:

Out of all my poster ideas, this is my favourite image. I find it works very well as it creates a sinister effect and by filling the image over the whole poster it allows it stand out. I find the path leading to the unknown is very effective and from my feedback, lots of people commented on how it created a frightening effect.

The stapline I feel works very well, as it makes the poster more interesting and also allows the audience to have a little clue on the film.


What I do not find effective on this idea:

Where I have placed ‘Twisted Pictures’ I feel it does not stand out enough and is not very clear and the image is behind it. Therefore in my final poster I will ensure I place a black background behind it is completely clear for the audience to read.

Poster: Idea 1

What I find effective on this idea:

From my audience feedback, I got lots of positive comments on the style of the title. They all said it grabbed their attention right away and also fits in well with the horror genre.



What I do not find effective on this idea:

Even though the image links in with the word ‘PLAY’ it is not a very sinister or frightening image, as it is a horror film, I need an image which will stand out to the audience I create a mysterious and terrifying effect.

Planning our film trailer

I and my partner have created a story board to gather ideas for our film trailer.
We have drawn a rough image of what each shot will consist of and then described, the shot size, shot angel, camera movement, lighting, setting, props, costume and music.
From completing this it has helped finalise what we want to be shown in the trailer and how we will do it.

As our film is set in a large open space field, this is where we are going to make our film trailer to create the full sinister effect. Will our also going to film the trailer in the early evening so it will be dark.
We shall start filming our trailer in a couple of weeks.
