Intentions

• I intend to create a poster for a horror film because it is my favourite genre and I think that it will be enjoyable to create.

Scream 4

• The poster for this horror film is mostly black and has little writing on it, the majority of focus is on the main image which is of the iconic ghost mask from the SCREAM series.

The Theatre Bizarre• This horror film poster is

vastly different from the majority of other horror film posters as it heavily features colour. The image is freaky and disgusting as it is an eyeball in a womans mouth with blood dripping from within her mouth onto her cheek. The woman has very light skin which is eerie as her skin resembles a ghost.

The Conjuring• This horror film poster retains the

tradition of having darkly coloured horror film posters. The main image is a girl in a rocking chair holding a doll which is a freaky combination and undoubtedly scary. The background behind the main image features a white wall with black smudges down the wall, this looks spooky and makes it apparent to the viewer that this is a horror film, the floor is also dark and has a cobbled pattern which is spooky.

Plan for horror film poster• Have the poster be mostly black and feature dark colours, not

much colour other than black. The main image should be something scary, e.g. a person looking creepy with low key lighting. The name should be something simple and short such as a name, e.g Charlie or Timothy. The title should be at the bottom of the page so that the main image seems more important, the writing should be in white which heavily contrasts the mostly dark background. Atop the page should be just a quote which is somewhat creepy. The bottom of the page should feature that small writing stuff with “coming soon” below it, above the small writing it should read “based on a true story”

Poster Design

• A tagline “he’s always watching”• Main image (close up of Charlie staring into the

camera), there is • Black background with a white light behind him

kind of• Film stuff at the bottom just above the words

“coming soon”• Just above film stuff it reads “based on a true

story”
