I think my poster will be conventional for the horror genre because it is giving the audience an insight into what the film is about. It is also giving the audience essential information such as the name of the film, the date it is released, a slogan and the actors and actresses involved in the film. I have ensured the poster is conventional through the use of layout, fonts and colours.

Masthead – name of the magazine

I think that this type of magazine cover will be conventional for the horror genre because the main image will be linked to the film trailer, ensuring the audience understand what the picture means. I want the magazine to be eye catching ensuring the audience pay attention to the cover and read it. I ensure that the front cover is conventional through the use of layout, fonts, colours and images. The aim of the magazine cover is to attract the target audience into reading about the film, making them more likely to watch the trailer and go see the film.

2nd Draft of My Poster

This is first draft of my film poster including images, fonts and colours that I plan to use on my final poster. I think this is conventional for a horror poster because it contains conventional colours such as black, white and red. The image has been edited into black and white; it has also been edited to make it look like somebody is watching the girl. This is a key theme throughout the film so I wanted to get that across in the poster. I wanted the fonts to be all serif, so that it is bold and eye catching. It also resembles horror because it is simple and basic nothing over the top. Lastly, the layout is effective for a film poster because it uses the route of the eye to draw the audience in.

2nd Draft of My Magazine

This is my first draft including colours, fonts and images. I think this is conventional for the horror film genre because it has a colour scheme with black, white and red, these are all conventional colours for a horror film magazine. I think the image is conventional for a horror movie because it has been edited into black and white to make the image seem spookier. It also gives the impression that somebody is watching her from behind. Lastly, I have tried to make the layout conventional with the use of the route of the eye, as this is the information that the audience look at first.
