1. The stages of our film trailer
poster
By Alex Debnam and Will Iles

2. To start with we looked at what we
could base our poster around
• Here are a few we looked at…
• We chose this one because…
We liked this one because of the use of colours as it clearly reflects on what genre the film is and it really
stands out and is eye catching. It is also really simple but looks effective.

3. •
Firstly we had too create a title for the poster which had to reflect our
genre and stick out. We chose the colour red because it is a bold colour
which instantly suggests blood, horror and gore, furthermore it is eyecatching. The reason we chose to make the words “ALONE” and
“WOODS” in a bigger font size is because they are key words and
therefore it creates interest and makes them stick out more. We then
placed this at the bottom of the page centred with a black background
as it made it look professional.
•
We than added the caption at the top of the page saying “you will never
be the same” we chose to write this as it sounds scary and creates
interest on the page. For this we used white text in block capitals this is
because it makes it stand out on the black background.

Next we added text on top of our title, this was
also to make it look more professional and
more interesting. We also done this in white
text in block capitals like the caption at the top
of the page, although this was wrote smaller
because we did not want to draw attention
away from the title.
•
We then added in the writing below the title,
this was just writing about who filmed it, who’s
staring it etc. This text was written in white
block capitals as well to make it stand out. This
text is harder to read but is in order to create
interest and make people think what's that all
about.

We then added the text “WINTER 2013” this
was to give people who looked at it a basic
idea of when the film would be available.
We did this in a brighter red in clear text
because it looks clearer and is therefore
easier to read.
Adding the website name for the film is the next
thing we did, this was also in white text because
again it stands out. This was written in a much
smaller text because although it’s useful
information it is not as important and is only for
people who want to know more.
The real R restricted box was then added this is fairly big and it is to clearly
show our film is not for the younger viewers and so it is helping us promote the
film to our target audience. We also added in the real d 3d symbol as it creates
interest for those who like 3d films and make the page look more professional

We then created some logos which we will be using for both our magazine cover,
and they will also be used for the beginning part of our film trailer. We chose to do
them like this as they are all simple yet they all look effective and realistic.
These logos where then added onto our film poster in a line along the bottom,
these where also small because we didn’t want to draw focus away from the title.

7. • This is where we
are up to so far, the
last thing to do is to
add an image once
that is done we will
then be uploading
it onto our blog.
