2. Section A
My poster is very simple; I tried to keep the
poster simple so that it didn’t feel over
crowded/confusing. I have used a simple colour
palette of red, white and black this is done on
many posters the colours I have used are
especially found on horror posters. I have
shown my serial killer (Francesca) on the front
of the cover, I don’t think this would be
obvious to the viewer. It is suggested that she
is the killer via my tag line “I've saved more
lives than I've taken" which is said by
Francesca in our trailer. The poster on top t is
from the film The Vow, I think that my poster
has similar conventions and lay out to the
poster on the right. Both posters have a female
character as the main image, neither poster
show clearly whether the girls are the final girl
or the serial killer. However they do both
suggest they are the serial killers, my poster
suggests this via the tag line whereas The
Vow’s suggests it via the use of red lipstick
which usually represents blood or evil. They
both also use red titles which has been done to
3. Section B
My magazine cover is on the bottom, these magazine
covers are similar in a number of ways. The first way is
the simplistic lay out, both covers have limited text
and one eye catching picture in the centre. The
master head on both covers is placed at the top but is
also partly behind the main image, the master head on
both covers are also bright colours and at the top this
is so they stand out in the magazine rack. Both covers
also contain a circle with movie lists in, this is done to
draw people into buying the magazine as they feel like
they are getting more for free. My covers main image
is Francesca standing at the bar which was one of the
locations in the trailer, I have used Francesca for the
main image as it would attract more attention as
people mainly remember the main character. Empires
cover also has the main character Hell Boy on the
cover, but this image has a plain background this
would have been done so that the text stands out.
Both covers have stuck to a simple colour scheme this
is so that the covers don’t look over crowded and
confusing.
4. Section C
This is a screen shot from the start of the trailer next to my magazine
cover and poster. The main way these three piece link in together is via
Francesca she is featured in each one of these things. The poster ties in
with the trailer as the tag line is a quote that Francesca says in the trailer.
Whereas the magazine links in as the picture is taken at one of the
locations used in the trailer. My advertising campaign would be more
suited towards the mainstream media as it is more like the way empire
would advertise.
