Poster

Today I have started work on my poster which although I haven't yet finished my magazine cover, I think it would be a good idea to make a start on both so that I have plenty of time to edit them later after feedback and keep a continuing theme between them. I want to use an image of my house on the front of my poster, as I really like the design of the 'Last House on the Left' poster that I looked at during my research and the idea of not featuring the characters on the poster, to make the poster slightly more intriguing for the audience. To begin with, I started my poster with a black background to fulfill the conventions of the horror genre and I began looking into images and fonts that I could use. The fonts I looked at are a similar style to those for my magazine cover becuase I think it is important to carry the themes and create decisions I have made about the appearance of our trailer on the magazine cover over to the poster. This creates a signature font for the movie, and would really stand out to an audience.

I am not sure yet how I want the image to feature on my poster, but at the moment I wanted to look at experimenting with how I can edit my current images to create possible effects for my poster.

I have experimented here with the fill of my text using picture that I have taken of the charcters and settings from our trailer. I think that some of these work really well and create some interesting depth to the text. I have made it black and white in these examples but I could also look at using a colour filter of using the original image colours. I think that the third example is the most effective and I will look into using this on either my poster or magazine cover.
