Researching on horror film posters gave me the idea of using dark colour schemes. In this case I chose to go with a simple black, red and white colour scheme. I also used this same colour scheme in the making of my magazine cover. This also helped reveal the genre of the film being advertised and helped with the mise-en-scene. Including the quote at the top of the poster, helped to give a hint to the audience of what to expect as well as get them a little bit scared. All this helps to set the atmospheere for the film. I purposely surrounded the text in a red rectangular shape to help it stand out. The inclusion of the age certificate made the audience aware of who were legally permitted to view the film. To help determine the title of the film being advertised, I ensured that the title was in an obvious big red font. Doing this helped to attract attention and make it visable amongst all the other texts. As most of the scenes in our film trailer were set in the woods, I tried to incorporate this setting in both my film poster and magazine cover. Doing this helped to keep the same house style and mise-en-scene. To keep the horror/thriller genre, I included haunting eyes in the background and the scared expression on my actors face. To help emphasise on the title of the poster, I made my actor hold a "blackberry" in both hands. I finally finished my film poster by adding credits which included the names of the producers and directors of the film. To keep my audience in the dark, I did not reveal the release date of the film and instead wrote "COMING SOON".
