A film poster is made to advertise the film and appeal to the target audience. Our film poster has three eerie looking pictures, enlarged on the front. These pictures immediately connote the genre of the film and this will be attractive to an audience that like thriller/horror films. The film website at the bottom is in red which also connotes the genre of the film, as red in this context symbolises blood and danger. Our production logo is in the left hand corner which also is a sudden signifier that our 'company' will make other thriller/horror, as the logo contains a knife with bright red blood on the knife which triggers typical eerie stereotypes in the target audiences mind. On the poster there is places where the audience can get information about the film such as the website and Facebook page, so they can become involved with the film and updates about it. This also will enable more people to hear about the film and look at the website, watch the trailer and see what it is about. We have put a Miramax logo on as they are a well known production company for making thriller/horrors and they have a great reputation. When people see this logo they will associate it with other good films they have seen, produced by this company which also makes people enthusiastic to watch it.
By putting reviews and large stars at the top of the poster, this lets people know critics reviews about the film and as it says four stars, this makes people think its an excellent film and likely to watch if have a great review.
Our poster has dark, shaded colours also to highlight the thriller/horror genre as it is a common convention in their posters, as the film contains dark and eerie content.
