Research and Planning: Test Poster

This is a film poster for a horror movie

  • Background Picture - I selected a picture of woods as that's the main setting for the horror theme of the film and I used it as the whole background so it stands out.
  • Main Pictures - Bunch of teenage friends and a couple are amongst them, only victims shown on the poster as it usually is on horror film posters.
  • Font & Colour - I chose 2 different shades of green as they con-notate mud and leaves which represent the 'scary' woods setting. The font I chose is 'mechanical fun' because it looks like a horror font.
  • Layout -Actor name at the top, film title underneath in large font size, 'coming soon' under that on the right hand side and the pictures at the bottom/center. I have chosen this layout as film posters tend to be like that.
  • Editing - I used the 'cartoon' filter, the background has some yellow, orange and green to it so this filter makes it seem like the plot links to the woods and these chartacters. Also I had to use the polygonal lasso tool to cut around the characters and the rotation so the characters fit in well to the poster.
