Poster Update

Here in our first poster update, we have started constructing the poster by including the image we have all decided would be best for our genre, and by adding a title which we all decided to call 'A Crimson Horror'. We decided to call our movie this, as in out research we found that it was a shade of dark red, and thought it would be perfect for our trailer. We didn't want to go too cliche with the name, so we decided to keep it it simple. We followed our flat plan by placing the title just under half way down the page, as we also found this a common technique in other successful horror movie posters. 

For our main image, we decided to go with  half the clowns face with little light shining on his face to give it a simple yet really effective sinister vibe and to help match the image with it's genre. We also chose this because it was a popular option within most typical horrors which all look really effect also. To make out poster, we used Adobe Photoshop. The advantages of using this software was helping us to be able to enhance the hue of the image, helping the red become brighter, and the yellow on the mask stand out a little more, and eye sockets of the mask seem darker. When doing this, we were also able to match the colour of our title to the same colour of a particular part of the clowns nose. We thought this would be effective so then out poster wouldn't be clashed with different shades of the same colour, that didn't match.

We have also added in a slogan with a typical pun such as 'A Circus You'd Die For'. We decided we liked the idea of making the slogan into the pun as in our research we found the horror 'Prom Night' pulled off their pun 'A Night To Die For' successfully. We decided to make the font smaller and spread out a little with white text font so that it differed from the title.

We also plan to follow the flat plan by including a two/three lined cast and crew list like on most posters with tall/squished font, to be a realistic as the other trailers. For this we plan to take off another trailer poster so we can have the same order. We also plan to add in the chosen production logo and a release date of our trailer.
