2. The research we have carried
out supports our final
products as they fit in with
the specified genre: horror.
Together, we picked out
typical characteristics such
as dim lighting, the use of
dark colours and an image
giving an idea of the film so
the audience know what to
expect.
3. We created our movie poster
with an element of The Blair
Witch Project in mind. This was
our main idea. We used an image
of a forest at the top of the
poster and decided to blend
another image over the top.
This next image blends the two
victims into the trees image,
which gives the impression that
they’re in the woods. (The
technique used for the Blair
Witch Project poster.) We
incorporated our own idea of
the moon at the top of the
poster shining down to reveal
the two victims in a mysterious
light. This gave the poster a
more uncanny and eerie
atmosphere which added to our
theme of horror.
4. To create the magazine we
took a still picture of one
of the victims and featured
her as the main image and
story, then placed this on
the front cover which we
found was often the case for
existing horror magazines. We
first considered using both
the victims but from research
we mostly found that it is
usually on individual
featured on a front page. We
spent time giving her a
rundown and injured look. We
did this to give the
impression that she had been
attacked which specifies to
the audience whom the film is
about; also that she will be
one of the victims too.
