Poster Development

This is the final development was simply the production name as some people was questioning the role 'the hotman group' was playing so simply added media to the name to make it obvious of its role.

This was the last major development using a lighter back drop to show a little more detail in the image and being able to see the emotion on the face of the main character.

This is a development was created after I was given the tip of showing more action of what happens in the film. I was given mixed reactions with this poster so therefore created a survey to see what version was preferred by the viewers. 

In this survey I had the most recent poster as poster 1 and the previous one as poster 2 and as this graph clearly shows the original poster was the more preferred out of these two.

The next thing that I realised was the codes and conventions had been broken though the fact the release date was being very much overshadowed by the rest of the poster, not only this I also made the title become more apparent by using a lighter shade of blue to make it stand out against the dark background.

With the idea of working with corporations I added not only my own logo but also the logo of whom was helping me during the heavy development stage of this opening sequence.

The next things that I thought would give this poster a more professional look was logos as there were seen in most film posters such as: 20th Century Fox, Sony, Dolby Digital sound and other companies and media incorporations.

As developments went on I found through the research thast there is a lot of info on a poster such as who created/produced said film, who stars in said film, and any extra persons that were key to the creation of said film.

This is my first idea for the ancillary task of  a movie poster. The idea of using this image has been ideal since the filming was completed. This first idea consists of a very simple design that clearly needed to have improvements made to it. However this was a very strong base to add improvements to. The major parts to a movie poster are already here such as, Title of the film, when the film is being launched and a background that sets the theme and idea of the film.  

Poster Plan

After looking at many other movie posters, I gained an understanding on what is a 'must' in a movie poster. The most critical things are:
Eye catching lay out to captivate the audience
The poster includes an intriguing focal picture to have the audience asking questions
Clear Title to make it easy to read
Theme that shows the horror genre of the film
Will attract the target audience of 15+
Age certification may be displayed
Release date
Directors and Production Company displayed

Movie Poster

In preparation for the second ancillary we looked at movie posters to understand what was needed for the most effective advertisement.
This is an analysis of a horror Movie poster;

However the posters below are also what I used as inspiration for the set up and layout of my movie poster ;

Production Recap

Since the planning stage, we have completed filming and I have edited a rough cut of the footage into a sequence that fits the codes and conventions of horror movies such as The Blair Witch Project and Blue. The development has been extensive since discovering what we originally created was an opening sequence. The next stages that are needed to be taken is the finalising of footage editing, and the research and development of a Movie Poster
