Final Poster.

Above are some examples of horror film posters and the conventions we used in the final poster.

- The titles of each film are in white and stand out against the black background. Although our title on our poster is red, it also stands out against the black background. The font is in a graphic style. Scream uses a knife like font that symbolises the weapon in the film as does ours; the font represents the blood of the victims.

- A maximum of three colours are used on the posters so there is continuity, this also captures the audience’s attention. The use of three colours doesn’t over complicate the concept of the movie and poster. 

- The layout of the poster ensures that all of the important information needed is presented to the audience and shows everything you need to know about the film before you see it.

-  Like both of these posters, a mask is used as the central image to put across the idea that we have no idea who the killer is. It leaves the audience wanting more. 

- The star(s) are highlighted on the poster and in almost every other film poster.

- The credits are at the bottom of the poster showing that although it's not as important, it still needs to be shown. 

- The tagline is above the film title to engage the audience. 

Here's our Film Poster for our teaser trailer for Hush Hush!

As you can see, we've conformed to the above conventions of usual horror movie posters :

- The production company, director, editor and producer at the bottom of the poster.

- The 2 main stars of the film and central are above the credits highlighting their importance.

- The use for graphic blood stained/smeared font.

- A capturing tagline at the top of the poster.

- A menacing image, for example, we have used the image of a mask without an identity, this puts the audience on edge as they don't know who the killer is or what could be behind the mask.

- The BBFC film rating: 18.
