This week I have started working on my 1st Ancillary project which is a promotional poster for the film that me and my partners are making a teaser trailer for.
To start off I am going to research promotional posters relevant to my genre and analysee them.
From examing these posters among others that relate to my movie trailer's genre i noticed a few common aspects between them which are as follows:
- They usually have a centrepiece picture of the main protagonist/antagonist of the film.
- The subject of the picture is usually posed in an intimidating posture.
- There is enough lighting in the picture to bring out the shadows and makes the subject look more like a sillhouette.
- These pictures almost have a mistly/smokey look to them.
- The important text for the horror/slasher movie posters e.g. the title, release date are often coloured red which has strong connotations to blood which is to be expected in the film.
- I also noticed that most of the posters (not just horror movie posters) have a common layout of the credits text being centred at the bottom with the title and tagline just above it and miscellaneous items at the far bottom.
