Ancillary Task: Poster - Planning

Before we create the poster we decided to think about some ideas that we would like to incorporate into the poster.

First of all we looked back at our original research when we looked at common conventions of a film poster and we continued to look at similar film posters from films such as, 'Dark Touch', 'Terror in the Aisles' and 'The Conjuring'.

We then thought about the main design of the poster, possibly the most important aspect of the poster will be the main image. We have chosen two ideas that we like the best and drawn a doodle of what they will look like, one idea is to use a close-up of Cassandra which we took inspiration from the Dark Touch poster and the other idea we've had is to get a picture of a tree with a noose around it, this idea has been inspired by The Conjuring poster that we looked at.

Further design ideas include the background, fonts and colour schemes.

We also thought up some ideas for a tagline as we found out that taglines were a common convention of movie posters. Furthermore we looked at the information which should be provided on the poster including what should be written on the billing block, date for release and ratings. We wrote down all the research onto a mind-map.
