Poster for Opening Sequence

As a group, we have decided that we would make a poster to promote our opening sequence just like a big named film production team would do for any other mainstream films. We are going to look at a few other posters that our similar to our opening sequence. We feel that if we create a poster to go along side our opening sequence it will help us get a better picture of what a real production team would do to promote a mainstream film. We want to create an authentic picture that looks realistic and like a professional has made the poster. We are thinking about using images from the filming in the poster so that the audience will see little bits of the film throughout and the title of the film will be on the front as the main attrition to the poster. Lauren and Lucy have been researching into different thriller posters such as The Awakening, Shutter Island and Dream House. These 3 posters all have thriller elements contrasting to create an eye catching, fearsome look. Having a poster that reflects the movies atmosphere will help aid potential viewers in knowing what type of movie they are going to watch.

The title of the movie is always clearly stated on the middle/bottom of the poster, the text is made to stand out from any other writing so its the first thing people would be drawn to. Having the text bold will give a clear indication of the movies nature, choosing a font to match our theme is very important as it needs to fit in with the genre and not look out of place.

Most posters include a subline to create awareness of the movies main intentions, this will give potential viewers to get a feel of what the movie is aiming to portray throughout the thriller. This will make sure viewers won't get a shock of what the movie is if they go and see it. The Awakening subline is "Sometimes dead does not mean gone", this gives the impression that the movie is not for the light hearted as it may contain blood, corpses and many unsitable images to those unfit to watch it.
