Film Posters and Initial Teaser Trailer Idea

We looked at a few horror film posters, to allow us to get some ideas for our own poster. These posters helped us to use a range of ideas when creating our film poster.
We looked at this poster even though it does not match our genre or storyline. We used it to get a range of ideas for our poster. This film is a certificate of 18, which is higher than ours, but from the poster, it could attract a younger audience as well.
We chose to look at this poster, because of the use of the lighting upon the person in the poster. This is because we want to use this effect in our poster. The background is quite dark which is also another effect we want to use. This film is certificate 18 which is higher than our film age, but that is due to th context of the film, the poster was still useful when creating our poster.

This poster has the conventions of a horror, with the dark colours. We chose to lok at this poster because of the use of the dark colours and because its genre matches ours. Although this film is certificated 13, and we are aiming for 15, the poster was still useful to look at when creating our poster.
This poster fits the horror genre, which is the genre we have chosen to base our film upon. We chose to look at this poster, as there is someone watching the girl in the mirror, like a stalker, to which we want our film to have a storyline of. The poster has a blue wash on it, creating a mysterious effect upon the viewer. This film is rated a 15, which is the certificate that we want our film to be.


This is our first idea for our teaser trailer. We have decided not to use it as we felt that it had too many footage that may look like it has come from the film. Also it did not create the effect that we wabted to convey, it did not fit our horror genre. In this storyboard we had visioned a girl writing her diary, whilst her 'stalker' is watching her house from across the road. The 'stalker' then got closer to the house, which we showed by using a range of camera angles and shots. We did not finish this story board as we realised the problems half way through creating it, but the ending would have been either the girl writing the film title in her diary or the 'stalker' posting a letter with the title upon it t6hrough her letter box.
