Before we began to come up with the ideas for our own film poster we looked into the designs of other film posters. We found when it comes to film posters there are always certain things that should be displayed on them. These include; title, tagline, age certificate, actors/directors etc... By having these specific things on the film poster audiences can easily define that it is a film poster. Another important part to the film poster is the image. The image is rarely a still shot from the film and is often a pre-planned image that will highlight the genre of the film and advertise it in the best way possible.
As our film is a Horror film we did look at a number of horror film poster to see how these look and what they usually entail. Horror film posters usually use the image and the title to highlight the genre and 'lure' the audience into watching it as with these films the genre is often the main selling point as it is with our film.
Knowing that film posters tend to have the same conventions on them we could then go on to planning our own film poster.
