now that my filming is complete im now starting to look into the second part of my project with is my the ancillary product to go with the trailer which is going to be a poster. im going to look at different posters of my genre so i can get an insight into what they should look like and so i can get inspiration on how i can make mine.


the poster for scream is a little dated but it is still up to scratch with all of the other modern day horror posters out there. i like the scream poster because it is so simple and yet so effective as  the image inst spectacular but due to the effects they use on the image it makes the image stand out for its genre so much more than if it was in color. The text for the title inst fancy or extravagant it is just generic and bold which due to the other colors they use makes it work.











this poster for Jennifer's Body is a good poster to look at due to the genre of the film as it isn't a typical horror film as it slightly dips into teen romance but it is predominantly horror. i looked at this poster as it is good to look into genre crossovers so i can look at both formats of posters for inspiration. unlike the scream poster the image they use for Jennifer's body is quite bold and attractive to the eye due to the main characters sex appeal which relates to the cross over of the genres but then we look at the dark colors surrounding the female which goes with the horror aspect. the font on the title is more to relate to the teen romance as the font is for a cheer leading team but the color contrasts with the other dark colors which makes the whole thing work.

this poster for A Nightmare On Elm Street isn't the same as the other posters due to it being a teaser poster which means it wont tell you the cast or have any production lines as it isn't the final poster it is only made to be mainly displayed online to make people aware of the existence of the film as when this poster came out the film was still six/seven months from release. the image and colors used just scream horror film at the audience with the low angle making the villain in the background look so much bigger than he actually is and the red colors and blood on the floor just show the audience what type of film to expect from looking at the poster.
