Film poster Ideas

We were asked to create a Film poster as part of our marketing campaign. As a group we took a range of images to work from.

As you can see it has been edited into black and white because it complements the white mask, highlighting the fact that his face is covered. The camera is at a low angle shot, showing that this killer is in power and intimidating.

This has also been edited into black and white. We agreed that using a black and white image was very effective for a film poster because it allows you to manipulate the contrast and the lighting of the image very easily, allowing you to create the image that you desire. This is another low angle shot, demonstrating his authority as a killer.

This is a close up of the killers face, with a very dark background. Again we have used the Black and white effect. Unlike the other pictures above this is a close up of the killers mask and it is only half. This creates mystery in the teaser poster.

These are a range of still images we also chose to work from to create the film poster or film magazine.

After looking through many of the still images that was taken by us, we came across a very interesting picture that had the commonalities of a teaser film poster. This image is only half of the protagonists face which symbolises that he has a split personality.We decided that we would leave the image as black and white because it enhances the killers menacing look. This image has been edited by using Abdobe photoshop to give it a more sinister effect.

The red font brings the audience's attention to the title of the film poster, and the bloody hand print also signifies the gore that will occur in the movie. The black and white shows the sinister and menacing side to the protagonist. However, the black font blends in with the film poster and hasn't got much of an effect on the audience and it doesn't explain the story.

-Final film Poster-

As you can see, we decided to go for a black background with red blood splattered on the wall behind it as it suggests the genre of the film. We then added a tagline as a promotional tool, to motivate the audience to see the movie.
