We chose this Horror poster from

“The Atticus Institute”. I chose this poster based on the way it had

incorporated hidden symbols within the

poster, and also how it has related to our own horror

theme of Psychiatric Horror.

Apart from the

gaumless face as the main image

of the poster ,

There is a ghostly face

with a “estranged

“ expression

arising from the low

angle of the face . I was able to

connote that the hidden face may

represent a hidden

agenda of the main image,

especially with the facial

expression.. That perhaps

this is the persons other pesronality , which I think linked well

with our film ‘Perception’.

The meaningful use of the cross within the title ,

that is highlighted in red, connotes the use of the evil and the

supernatural .

For these horror poster s I chose them based on the dispersing

effects that were included. With the horror poster above, we chose it on the message the poster perceived, which was

control. This was connoted by the anonymous ghoul like hands

cupping the distorted face perhaps of a child. We thought

that a similar idea of control was included within our narrative.

We chose a poster for the new season of American Horror story. The man breaking out of the mattress that has been sewn in attempt to stop something from coming out. We

could use that idea of breaking apart breaking free within our own horror poster.

We chose something similar with the zip opening SFX make up. We thought this would match our poster as it is based on perception , so an image of our main villain, pulling zipping

down to it’s demon form represents the meaning of our perception.

We chose two poster from Crimson Peak and The Forest as the held similar edits . The crimson peak posters use two images to fade into each other link to our meaning. The crimson peak poster on the right

also has a hidden face within the forest itself which could be where our villain looks down on the victim “Sydney”. The forest poster uses and

effect on the main image that links to the storyline of the film , with the ropes ready to for hanging people. We could use this effect to flow into

elements of our storyline.

We looked at an advertisement for Kruel, with the villain behind the door and the scared “Victim”. This is something we could use within our poster to show

the fear within our main character.

We chose the Jessabelle poster as it showed the two sides to the villain which linked with out meaning and also with our

characters, we could have the villain back to back to the main character.

We thought the Muck poster matched the concept of our storyline such as the

feeling of our main character “Sydney” the thoughts she may be having , to make her

feel suffocated . This is poster edit we could use to demonstrate our film.

We chose this poster for the devil inside as it has a major symbol of the film that links with the storyline which is the huge upside down

cross that links with the devil. Within the cross there is various images that also link with the storyline or they are images of the storyline. We liked the main symbol as this is something we could include within our

poster , that would link our film together with it, a way for the consumers to recognise our film without seeing the name of it , however

we thought the images were too much and overcrowded the poster slightly.

Poster Links to Research

These are the main images we worked from to create our

poster and to create the idea of perception, half

demon half human. Its in order for the consumer to decide

what is real and what is fake about

the film , it also gives an insight

into the storyline.

Trailer Shots

Links between magazine and trailer

We kept the SFX make up a strong theme through all of the media texts . We made sure the magazine links to the poster cover by using images from the same collection showing

the half of the face. We chose these images in order to get the meaning

of perception across to our consumers.

We used the same font within all of our products

to link them together.

We used the angle of gaze strongly between our products to enhance the look of our villain to our consumers to enhance the scare factor of our horror.

We made sure to include the companies that were displayed in the trailer on the

poster, to relate the companies that were involved. This will also show the

legitimacy of the film and also show the distributors of the film.
