This is my final film poster.

Font for my tagline.

I have been looking at different types and colours for the font of my tag line. I am aiming to achieve a simple look for my film poster, therefore the font must also be simple.

I like this font because I think it looks 'scrawled' this could reflect the recklessness and carelessness of the acts in the film. It also looks quite childish which could reflect the age of the killer.

I do not really like this font, although it is simple and 'matter of fact' i also think it is a bit dull and lacks and character.

I do like this font because I think as well as being simple it is bold and stands out. i think it will fit in with the font of the title of my film which will keep it looking more neat.

What would you expect from a teaser trailer?

While editing my final version of my teaser trailer, I need to make sure I include all of the things that are expected of a trailer. To make sure my trailer does contain these things I asked five people, from my class, the following questions.
1)What do you expect from a teaser trailer?
- To be enticed
- To be intrigued
- For it to grab your attention
- To make you want to see the film.
- To grasp an idea what the film is about/what genre it is.
From these answers I have realised that when watching my trailer back I must make sure that these aspects are included. The genre of my film must be clear, and I must be careful to try and keep the trailer exciting.
2)What would you expect from a horror teaser trailer?
- Scary
- To be able to identify the victim
- Tense
- Shocking end
- Leave the viewer on edge/shocked.
While making changes to my trailer I need to make sure I keep my viewers interested and I also need to make sure it contains the key factors of a horror teaser trailer.
3)What do you think would not make a good teaser trailer?
- Too much writing
- For it to be boring
- Lots of straight cuts
- No music/sound effects
- Shot held for too long
As my trailer includes music and sound effects I do not need to worry about the fourth point, however my trailer does contain writing. I need to make sure the writing shots are not shown for too long, so they will not bore the audience

My Film poster (ideas)

I have two different ideas for my film poster so i thought that if I created them both on paint.net, I could then ask my peers which they though would look best.





Out of the ten people I asked 7 people preferred the pixelated image as they said it adds more mystery to the poster. I like the fact that only half of the picture is pixelated. Other comments were that the poster looked best in black and white and I should keep the eyes covered with the title. Somebody also commented that it look better when the 'uninvited' did not have a black background. I will take these comments into consideration when constructing my final poster.

Making my logo.

To make my logo I used paint.net. It was simple and easy to use. After creating the 'blood splat' effect, by layering i wrote the title over it. I used the magic wand to go around the edges giving them an 'edgy' look.
After achieving the logo i wanted I uploaded it to my blog and I will now use it in my final magazine and film poster.

Black and white film posters.

I have been researching further film posters which use black and white as their main colours, I have been doing this as I believe using mainly black and white will create a better effect for my film poster. I think that it will make my poster look more mysterious and it will fulfil its purpose as a film poster to entice the audience into seeing the film.

I really like the colours of this poster, I think the red really stands out and the most important parts of the poster are in red, meaning this will catch the reader's eye. I think red will work well on my poster as it has connotations of blood and danger. I also like how simple the poster is, it includes only the relevant information. The main things the reader wants to know is, who stars in the film and the films title. These two things are clearly accessible and in red so that the reader will look at them first.

I think the way the red runs through the characters face is a great way of making the audience know that charcater is in danger. Also, the red connects the two characters perhaps suggesting danger connects the two, or that the bottom character controls the danger. The victim of my trailer is not appearing in the film poster, however I think the red is a good way of representing the victim. I want my font to stand out like it does on this poster, which is why i want a black background.
