Poster Links To Trailer And Magazine

Linked To Trailer• The most obvious links between our film poster and

trailer is the colour scheme we used as well as the effects.

• The main colour theme on our poster is white with some black due to the hair colour and text plus the red of the gouged eye wound. This colour scheme is seen throughout our trailer as white is significant with the bath scenes as the room is completely white, indicating potential purity as well as coldness which links to the water, and the black clothing of the protagonist contrasts this. As red is not our main colour that we wanted to incorporate it is not prominent in the trailer but there are hints, such as the villain’s wound being visible but also at one point our protagonist is wearing a burgundy jumper. The white of the villain’s dress is also shown on our poster and this is seen fully in our trailers

• One of the effects on our poster is an eerie smoke graphic in the back and this smoke is a consistent theme in our products and in our trailer this is seen with our titles which have a moving smoke overlay. However with out poster we gave it a blue hue to make it more cohesive with the water theme and this with the white block colour gives a ‘cold’ feel to the poster.

• Also the clearest link between our poster and trailer is that we decided to have the main image our villain, who is seen on multiple occasions in the trailer.

Linked To Magazine Cover• Our poster links in well with our magazine cover for

a multiple of reasons, the most obvious, again, being the use of the smoky effect as well as the consistent colour scheme

• The use of the smoke that has a dark blue colour overlay is effective is creating cohesive products as it directly links them together which the colour scheme of black, white, blue-grey and red also do this. We made sure that we included this colour scheme across both the products in order to make it obvious that they are promoting the same film, despite the name giving that away

• To make our ancillary tasks link together ever more, we used the same font for the title of the film, showing that there is a consistency with all our products. With this we also made sure that they titles are the same colour and have the same levels of drop shadow, which we made a dark blue to make both the pieces even more cohesive.

• The smoke effect on the poster is also carried over to the magazine as we changed to background to a blue-grey smoke as well as editing the masthead to have a grey smoke effect too
