Poster Layout/Flat Plan
These are the poster we go most of our inspiration from
and as you can see this came from both old and
modern horror posters. We noticed that close up shots of a character/villain was effective because of the
intensity of how close the face is to the audience as well as the eyeline match
being straight forward, making it feel as though they’re looking at you or
watching you. We noticetd that the titles were often at the bottom of the poster but on our flat plan we put our
film title at the top however this eventually changed
when it came to editing on Photoshop because it’s more conventional and to follow
this we placed our pull quote at the top where it would
stand out more too.
This is the flat plan for our poster that Naomi created as a basis for our final product. Here you can see that this is
the image we did use for our final product and it allowed the flat plan to be designed and based around this. At first we
decided to have the film title at the top with a
small pull quote underneath however
with our Photoshopped version we changed this to have the title at the
bottom above the credits and the pull
quote large and centred at the top.
Shivani also made another flat plan as a second option if we were not to follow the first so
we had another option of what sort of layout we could follow. This one was based around an
image with a black background that we weren’t massively fond of because even though it was a good
image, we felt a white background would work better
because we’d have more freedom with font placement and colour as well as the text
being clearer, so we stuck with the first flat plan design. This flat plan also has the title at
the top because it would have been the only place it would fit due to the image’s positioning. The pull quote here would also have been to the side because
the image was to the other side but we didn’t like this
design as much because it’s less conventional of a
contemporary horror poster.
