Draft Layouts For Poster

2. Draft #1
 This is the basic layout that I created by
being inspired by the poster ‘GRACE’.
Here I have created my own tagline in
which I think is very relevant to the
genre of my film trailer. The meaning
of this is that our main character of a
young girl is going to be in a white
dress in which she would look like she
is innocent but in fact that is the
complete opposite.
 The film title ‘ANGEL’, I think is a good
name as it is actually the girls name but
it also has a totally different meaning as
when you think of an angel you think of
goodness and purity but this isn't the
case in this film trailer.

3. Draft #2
 Here I have kept that same basic
outline as the previous draft as I
feel that the more simple it is the
better. The photo I used here is off
the film poster ‘The Ring Two’. I
wanted to see what this looked like
as I think that the way they show
this young character is very
interesting.
 From having a basic outline, it
makes the image look more eerie
because there is nothing in it’s way
so it looks like it is the most
dominant thing on the page.

4. Draft #3
 I have still kept with the original layout of
film poster, I don’t think it will change
drastically through the rest of my draft to
get to my final one. I have took this image
off the ‘Insidious’ poster because I think
that the emotion that the boy is giving off
is very daunting and it is what I want my
character to be showing.
 I also think that the way the house is in
the background is also effective because as
a viewer we would wonder what
significance it has to the film. The boy also
looks bigger than the house which I think
looks very creepy as normally a house
would look much more powerful that a
young boy so it could suggest that this boy
has a very strong impact on the house as a
whole which is something that I may want
to show in my poster.

5. Draft #4
 Here I have added one of my own photos. I
think that this image is very effective because it
looks very eerie which is the effect I want to
give off. I have also made the billing block
smaller because I think that it was too big and I
don’t want it to be the main focus.
 I have also changed the text at the top which is
something to what I have saw when I have
researched other horror film posters, I think
something like this is very effective on a poster
because it makes people more spooked by the
film and the audience of this genre would be
intrigued to see the film.
 I have also changed another part of the text that
was at the top on the previous draft. I have
placed this under the title of the film and
changed the colour to red because I think that it
needed to link a bit more with the film title. I
am not to sure whether this arrangement is a
good one but I think that the image I have put
on this looks very effective.

6. Draft #5
 I have changed the image to experiment with
the other images I have taken. I am not too
sure about this image because it is very blurry
(I chose it to be blurry) but it is not clear. It
still gives off an eerie vibe but I don’t think that
it is as effective as the previous image.
 I have changed the layout of the text to see
what looks better. I have completely changed
the text at the top which I also saw when
researching other horror film posters. I like
this text because for the people who have seen
these other films, they would get a instant
feeling of that this one may be about.
 I have put the text at the bottom to the right
but I am not too sure which layout I prefer yet
so I think I may have to work more into the
effects on the text and the image.
 I have finally moved part of the text that was
previously under the film title but now it is
above it. I don’t think that this is better
because to my it looks out of place.

7. Draft #7
 I have changed the image to see how a
brighter one works. I am not too sure
whether it creates the best vibe
compared to the previous one. This is
why I have come to the conclusion of
using one of my darker photos.
 The only other thing that I have
changed from my previous draft if the
name of the film. I have moved it back
into the middle but put it at an angle
so that it is in line with the way the hill
is going. The idea behind this is good
but I don’t think that it works for my
poster.

8. Draft #8
 This poster is just like my fifth draft
but I have only changed the image. I
have done this because I wanted to see
which other photos of mine work as a
poster.
 I think that this one is interesting and
could work but I prefer the other dark
photos to this one which is why I am
not going to uses this method.

9. Draft #9
 Here I have gone back to the photo that
I think works the best. I have also went
back to the original layout of the text at
the bottom, by having it in the middle.
 I have changed the text that is at the
top to similar words that I saw on real
magazines. These are two attractions
are things that I have noticed which
will attract the audience.
 I think that is the arrangement that I
want and the image is my final one.

10. Final Draft
 This is my final poster.
 From my previous draft I have changed
a few things. I have changed the font of
my film title name ‘ANGEL’ because I
felt that it was too plain and didn’t fit
in with the genre horror but now I
think that this is a font that suites.
 I have also changed my billing block,
making it look more professional. I did
this by looking at real ones and
creating it in a similar way which I
think is a good way to make things look
more realistic, as the previous one
didn’t at all.
 I think this poster now looks
professional and work well with the
genre horror.
