This is our sample film poster, it follows similar conventions of other horror film posters as it shows the main threat in the image which in our the film is the house. We chose to make it black and white as many horror film posters don't have much colour in their posters to make them more intense and give a stronger feel.
I inserted the films BBFC age certificate and inserted our production logo at the bottom (LastMinuteFilms) I also included the release date at the top to show the audience when the film will be out in the cinemas. I also included two reviews from top newspapers about the film to lure the audience in and I have seen this a lot on film posters therefore we decided to add it in to our poster.
Release Diary:
Cinema Release: 28th March 2012
DVD Release: 20th July 2012
This is our production logo which follows certain conventions for horror production logos as the text is quite splattered and almost represents blood apart from it not being red. We decided to make it more of a dirty brown colour because red is very commonly used in production logos. We also used a black background to allow it to stand out as it would be crowded with a detailed background.
This is 'Twisted Pictures' logo who play with the name of their company within the logo by making what is almost barbed wire twisted around the text and use the big spike in the middle to separate the two words. This keeps it very simple and down to earth, the black background helps the logo stand out much more as it wouldn't stand out very well with a coloured background.
Here 'Lionsgate' use a very dark, striking, horror looking red. The typeface is very big, bold and square, it stands out to the audience it is almost very serious as a font. The layout is simple as the title is big and bold in the middle surrounded by dark red clouds, this makes the title very iconic as almost straightaway the logo is recognisable without even properly reading the text. The logo establishes the scary horror theme and the stone coloured text suggests the realism and seriousness of the company and sets quite a mysterious tone
