FINAL GROUP POSTER
CHOSEN POSTER
JUSTIFICATION
• WE HAVE CHOSEN TO USE THIS PARTICULAR POSTER AS OUR FINAL PRODUCT DUE TO THE GREAT AWARENESS OF HORROR POSTER CONVENTIONS WHEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT LAYOUT AND PAGE DESIGN. FOR EXAMPLE THE MAIN TITLE IS PLACED BELOW THE IMAGE, BUT IS STILL CENTRAL. THIS IS CONVENTIONAL AS IT PREVENTS THE TEXT FROM INTERFERING WITH THE IMAGE AND RUINING THE EFFECT CREATED BUT HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TITLE AND MAKES IT CLEAR, AND EYE-CATCHING FOR THE AUDIENCE. ALSO THE CREDIT BLOCK IS PLACED BELOW THE IMAGE AND OTHER TEXT, AS IS TYPICAL TO FILM POSTERS, SO THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE THE AUDIENCES ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE EFFECT CREATED BY THE REST OF THE POSTER. THE TAGLINE IS SMALLER THAN THE TITLE AND TO THE SIDE OF THE IMAGE, SO THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE IMAGE BUT STILL CATCHES THE AUDIENCES EYE.
• AWARENESS OF FONT HAS BEEN EXERCISED AS A DIFFERENT FONT HAS BEEN USED FOR THE CREDIT BLOCK TO THAT USED FOR THE REST OF THE TEXT AS THIS IS CONVENTIONAL TO FILM POSTERS AND SEPARATES IT FROM THE REST OF THE POSTER.
• TO COMPOSE THE POSTER APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE, PHOTOSHOP, WAS USED BECAUSE IT HAS MANY FEATURES THAT ALLOWED US TO ENSURE THE POSTER APPEARED PROFESSIONAL AND OFFICIAL.
• THERE IS APPROPRIATE INTEGRATION OF ILLUSTRATION AND TEXT PRESENTED ON THE POSTER. THE LARGE IMAGE IS EYE-CATCHING AND WOULD HELP TO DRAW IN AN AUDIENCE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS LIMITED TEXT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM BEING OVERWHELMED WITH INFORMATION BUT THE TEXT PROVIDED IS ENOUGH TO INTEREST THEM AND MAKE THEM WANT TO FIND OUT MORE.
• THERE IS CREATIVE USE OF FRAMING IN OUR CHOSEN POSTER AS THE CHARACTER IS CENTRAL TO THE IMAGE FRAMED BY THE FLAT, OPEN, EMPTY SETTING WHICH WORKS TO EMPHASISE THE ISOLATION AND LONELINESS OF THE SCENE AND INCREASE THE THREATENING, FRIGHTENING APPEARANCE AND STANCE OF THE CHARACTER.
• FINALLY OUR CHOSEN POSTER UTILISES APPROPRIATE MISE EN SCENE. THE LIGHTING AND COLOUR USED IS FAIRLY DULL IN ORDER TO REPRESENT THE THEMES ASSOCIATED WITH THE HORROR GENRE, SUCH AS ENTRAPMENT AND MISERY.
