Film Poster 1

The image of this poster is antagonist escaping from the mental asylum with a weapon in his hand.

I have also added the film title, tagline, release date and the main characters in this film.

I have followed the typical conventions of a film poster. As you can see the colours I have used follows the conventions of the horror genre.

This idea will definitely be considered when creating the real thing on Photoshop.

Film Poster 2

The image on this poster is of the antagonist, this is showing him in his hospital gown.

In my final product I will consider adding pictures of the main actress onto the back wall, so that the audience could see him looking at her.

Also the film title, release date, the tagline and main characters names, will all be included to follow the conventions of a film poster.

Again I have used the same colours, that would usually be used for a horror film.

Magazine Front Cover 1

The image on this front cover is of the antagonist, holding an axe in his hand.

The background for this will be black, to reflect back on the horror genre.

I have added a couple of cover lines that I will consider using on my final product.

I will be including a barcode, date and a price on my final magazine front cover.

Magazine Front Cover 2

This main image is the main actress of my film and also the victim. Here is an image of her happy but it all changes very quickly.

It was just an idea to have her on the front but I have made the decision, for my final product to have both the antagonist and the victim on it.

Also I have a smaller image which is the antagonist holding a weapon in his hand.

Then I have included cover lines that I will be using on my final product. As well as a barcode, date and a price.
