8. Film Poster 1
The image of this poster is
antagonist escaping from the
mental asylum with a weapon in
his hand.
I have also added the film title,
tagline, release date and the main
characters in this film.
I have followed the typical
conventions of a film poster. As
you can see the colours I have
used follows the conventions of
the horror genre.
This idea will definitely be
considered when creating the
real thing on Photoshop.
9. Film Poster 2
The image on this poster is of the
antagonist, this is showing him
in his hospital gown.
In my final product I will
consider adding pictures of the
main actress onto the back
wall, so that the audience could
see him looking at her.
Also the film title, release
date, the tagline and main
characters names, will all be
included to follow the
conventions of a film poster.
Again I have used the same
colours, that would usually be
used for a horror film.
10. Magazine Front Cover 1
The image on this front cover is
of the antagonist, holding an axe
in his hand.
The background for this will be
black, to reflect back on the
horror genre.
I have added a couple of cover
lines that I will consider using on
my final product.
I will be including a
barcode, date and a price on my
final magazine front cover.
11. Magazine Front Cover 2
This main image is the main actress
of my film and also the victim. Here
is an image of her happy but it all
changes very quickly.
It was just an idea to have her on
the front but I have made the
decision, for my final product to
have both the antagonist and the
victim on it.
Also I have a smaller image which is
the antagonist holding a weapon in
his hand.
Then I have included cover lines
that I will be using on my final
product. As well as a barcode, date
and a price.
