Film posters

I decided to start looking at general horror film posters so I would know what conventions i should follow when it came to making my own poster for Hidden.
When looking at the posters I looked at these speciffic things:
  • Main picture- how it represents the story
  • font- which font is used and what effect that has
  • Title- how it is displayed which colour is commonly used
  • If the poster is visually effective
  • where the posters were distributed
  • What the poster included I.E directors names, actors names- some credits.


I really liked this inparticular poster as I feel it represents the genre directly.  I like the way the picture has been altered to make different colours more saturated, Yasmin and I both want to use this technique when making our poster. We want to add a surreal element to it like "Squeal" in the way that the writing is blood dripping down the poster.
