3. • The title for this film represents the main theme
of being “trapped” and “confined” in the asylum.
There are a number of different things that are
“enclosed” within the mental asylum, such as the
young boy played by Sean who cannot escape
from the asylum, the mother’s secrets of being
raped, and the Head of the Asylum’s secrets
which involve keeping Sean locked away in the
asylum. I used the font of Trajan Pro as the font
reminded me of the film “Shutter” font.
4. • The main image is a key
image within our film trailer
as it is the entrance of the
asylum. As it is a door
knocker it clearly links in
with the title of being
“Enclosed”. As the image
looked plain as just a door
knocker, I added red eyes to
create a scary effect and put
an image of the Head of the
Asylum within the door
knocker to show him
“trapped” behind the door.
It also could suggest that he
was the one who was
keeping everything enclosed
in the asylum.
5. I came up with the idea of
including a face within my
door knocker from the
psychological thriller film
poster “The Rite”. In The Rite
poster the image of the cross
takes up the whole
poster, creating a small billing
block. I did not want to create
this effect, however, and
wanted the main image for
my poster to be centre as a
main focus, rather than taking
up the entire poster frame.
6. • For my tagline I wanted to make it stand out
but I wanted the word “secrets “to be the key
word within the sentence. I decided to do this
by creating it in a blood red colour and putting
it into italics. I put it into italics in order to
make it seem like it was being whispered in
order to enhance the idea of the film holding
lots of secrets and inviting the audience to
come and uncover these secrets.
7. • The billing block is conventional as it includes
the elements of other film posters, such as
“directed by” and “Cuthroat pictures
presents”. I kept the billing block small so it
would keep the focus on the rest of the poster
such as the film title, date and image, but I
used actors names as the unique selling point
within the billing block.
8. • I chose October as this was the month
that our film was based in. I also decided
to put this in a blood red colour as I
wanted it to stand out more than the
other parts of the billing block which were
in white. I also included an age rating and
a logo of the production company.
9. Target audience
• I found my poster would reach my target
audience as within the main image is a male
of the age 40, which would appeal to that age
range. There is also the use of the font which
clearly show the film being of the
psychological thriller genre, appealing to my
target audience who love psychological
thrillers and targeting my younger target
audience’s ages.

12. • Based on the image I felt my poster fit in
with the real media psychological thriller
film poster of “The Rite” as they both
focused on a face in the centre of their
main image.
• Based on the title, tagline and billing
block composition, I felt my poster
related to “The Last House On The Left”
as the position of these elements of my
poster was of similarity to this poster.
