I have produced a mock-up of the basic layout for my film poster of how I would like the finished product to look. I have used images taken from the internet as inspiration though appreciate that for my final piece the images used will need to be my own work. I feel this design is appropriate for the genre of our short film as the main colour, black, indicates a dark and sinister tone. The central image is striking which should grab the reader's attention and is also enigmatic, creating many mysteries such as who the character are or why the male is tied up in the chair, which will hopefully entice viewers to watch the film. The ambiguous, hazy figure in the foreground gives indications of the supernatural aspect - alongside the use of the verb 'haunt' in the slogan, which, again, should intrigue audiences. The poster features subtle use of the colour red - a symbolism of danger - to draw the reader's attention to the important information, particularly the release date.
Producing this prototype has been a very useful experiment as it has tested whether the design will be successful in its purposes of persuading the reader to see the film. Given the reasoning above, I am pleased with this design and believe it to be effective at achieving this purpose. The next step is to conduct a photo shoot to capture my own original images, inspired by those used in this prototype, to be used on the final version of my poster.
