Researching film posters, I decided to look specifically at film posters of my chosen genre; horror. Examining a range of horror film posters you immediately notice a common theme throughout. You notice that if not all, most horror film posters’ backgrounds are black. If it’s not black it ends to be a really dark colour. This connotes darkness, giving a spooky feel. The use of black or any other dark colour for the film poster is a generic convention, which I believe would be very hard to challenge as this has been a common theme ever since horror films were about. So I decided to incorporate the use of black onto my poster. Much like the other posters I want to have my subject highlighted in the middle of the poster, with black around the subject, all long the edges. This will give all the attention to the subject. Similar to 'The Last House on The Left' I want the title to be larger than the actual picture, so I don't reveal too much throught the picture. I am also considering using a silhouette for my picture, to make it more scary as such.
