The document discusses ideas for a movie poster based on analyzing existing horror/thriller posters. It notes that many posters show partial faces or characters blended together with a minimal color scheme to maintain mystery. The poster for the film "Split" using a white background is cited as inspiration. Elements like cracked faces, inclusion of multiple characters, and blur effects are highlighted as techniques to potentially incorporate into the poster.

2. Explanation of ideas
• The majority of these film posters are similar in layout; some show two of the characters blended together,
or only show half of the main characters face. There is colour scheme, usually black and red or hardly any
colour at all. For my film, I think I will use a white background, like the ‘Split’ movie poster. In these film
posters, there is quite good lighting on the characters shown, to make it clear that they are the protagonist.
These posters to me, do not look too busy, to keep the element of mystery, as they are thriller horror hybrid
films.
• I like this film poster, and will consider recreating it for my own film poster. I like that only half of his face is
shown, to promote the element of mystery, and the cracks across his face promote the idea that he isn’t
normal.
• I also like this poster, as it reflects the genre of my film and the storyline. Its creative and is a bit more
drastic than the poster before.
• This poster also appeals to me as it includes both characters. I may recreate this, but include a knife in the
middle of them, as an indication of the main storyline in my film.
• Finally, this poster is appealing as I like the blur effect. If I were to recreate this, I would use the blur effect
with the green tint, but position the character differently.
