Poster Alternative's

This poster was created specifically for the main image to be more dominant without using the review I usually planned to feature on the film poster. A TV with the release date has been added in the background so people are aware to watch the film on that specific day the film is releasing. This was not my final poster due to the poster not having a balance of the text and image together. I felt that this would not have been effective enough to attract my target audience as there was not much going on.

The second poster created I had changed the image completely but kept the layout the same as the first attempt. This poster was progressing to become better but was still not enough. I felt that this poster was lacking professionalism, as I tried making the film title a blood-spattered effect but it did not match the whole poster itself. The release date and the film website has been positioned just above the credits to allow the image not to be just plain and tedious. Again, I felt that this would not have been effective enough to attract my target audience as there was not much going on.

Back to the original image I used in the first film poster. I have manipulated the image further with the illusion effect of the victims face becoming more visible and effective. The whole layout has changed. The review has been positioned at the very top of the magazine as I felt text needed to be added in to create more of a professional look and to convey conventions. The film title has moved to the bottom with more text and information being added to follow conventions. I felt this was a lot more professional with the layout and had a great balance between the text and image. This would appeal to my target audience needs more as  I have used the research very well and taken their answers into careful consideration. However, I felt the positioning of the film title should always be at the top of the film poster, as the review just looked odd by itself and made the top half of the film poster very plain and unusual. This was the only difference towards my final poster design.
