REFLECTING ON MY POSTER

Reflecting on my movie poster

I feel my movie poster was effective as it was quite a dramatic image and left you feeling you would want to see this movie, it showed what Genre it was and gave you a good idea what the film was about without telling you the film and spoiling it for you. I came up with the idea to do this as I wanted to get my kids involved as it would be free actors. Lol

The skill level I have reached is beginners as I have never used photo shop before and I am only getting the hang of it and I am still learning. I have handed assignments in before the deadline so this shows that I am handling my time management very well.

WHAT INSPIRED ME TO MAKE THIS HORROR POSTER?
What inspired me for the Genre of the poster was I thought about it and decided I fancied doing horror because of the special effects that I could get involved in, blood and gore. I went on the internet and looked at many horror posters and they were scary, jumpy, bloody and suspenseful. I liked that Genre and decide to do it.
There were many with scary, creepy and strange children movies so I decided to use my daughter, she had experience of being in other films so she was perfect and knew exactly what to do so it would be less hassle than getting someone who has never done this before. Then I decided to use my dog who has never done this before but was a very well behaved and trained which they say never work with children and pets I know see why. lol The crew also used ourselves as actors so we could cut down on the numbers involved incase different people wouldn’t turn up on different days. I decide to use the hanging of the girl photo for the poster as it was a important and dramatic point. The other photo I chose is the one with the knife through the frosted glass as this as a poster made you think god what is happening in this film and want to watch it so I think I achieved what I set out to do and I think the poster is appropriate for the type of audience that likes horrors.
