day 3 of poster making- with the picture chosen we could proceed with the text in the poster and the billing block. the picture naturally had darkness around it so no effects were needed. this is the picture below, The picture suggests terror and fear representing the horror genre of the film. The black and white treatment suggests realism and the shadows add the real life effect (a horror film convention) This should target the horror audience and by using a black main character possibly the "urban" black audience too.
obvious things will need to done like adding the title but most importantly ill need to add the slogans which will be 'don't go there' which goes with the song in the trailer and references to the fact that these students are somewhere their not meant to be. then add ratings from renowned news and film critics so the audience get an opinion on if they should watch the film, having 4-5 stars being shown usually guarantees sales plus having a little caption saying something like 'EXPLOSIVE HORROR' or 'BEST HORROR OF 2010' also adds to this effect.
