Movie poster second and third drafts


As the landscape posters didn't work out, I decided to go with the portrait poster instead. I decided to base my poster on the Blair Witch Project movie poster as I liked the use of light effects in that poster and wanted to re-create them myself so that the poster had the same ambiguous effect. Whereas in the Blair Witch poster, the image of the female character shows her looking directly into the camera, I decided to use an image of one of our female characters already dead and looking away from the camera slightly to make it more intriguing for my audience.


I decided I didn't want the movie title to be red because, though it's connotations are fear, blood etc... I felt it was over used and that a grey colour would be more appropriate for our movie. Also, the grey colour fit better with the rest of the poster as both the images I used have muted colours rather than vibrant colours. I did this because I didn't want my poster to be too gory and have an ominous tone.
