Draft of Poster

Holly had made this poster as a draft poster to help us get started, she made it using photoshop which allowed her to elaborate her photoshop skill as well as help us to get different ideas. The photo she had used was one that Nick had taken, and i believe this is a beautiful picture as it is very emotional, very realistic, yet subtle and simplistic. She cut the image into a lighting bolt shape which compliments our theme of thriller, and reflects the anger in relevance to the definition of our film name. She included Stephanie's eyes, which is undeniably very sharp and eye catching, it is significant as it shows her helplessness, struggle and desperation. through our research we were aquatinted with the idea that the background of thriller posters are conventionally black, simple, blunt or with a fade. Holly has made the background plain black to follow conventions, which worked well as we are more focused on the main image, making it very eye catching. The text is simple yet effective, and i believe the font style helps convey that this is a thriller movie. Capital letters in bold have been used to make it stand out and noticeable, it is also very conventional, the movie name placed at the top in a larger size yet the same font instantly provides the viewer with the knowledge that this is a mysterious, serious and suspensive movie, and i believe the font helps emphasize this. I really like this poster as it is conventional, appealing and ambiguous. Although it is very simple it still looks professional and unique, we have decided to use this as a secondary poster on our magazine front cover.
