Final Magazine Cover and Poster

Final horror film magazine cover

Final poster

I decided to go with this as my final poster as it was a lot 'cleaner' and smarter than my experimental one using the posters for 'Annabelle' and 'Insidious' as inspiration .

Originally I wanted to go with a poster that gave a lot away in hint form, yet i like the secrecy and mystery this poster gives as it still reveals some aspects of the film, but it is a lot less noticeable. We took some photos which made it easier to make this poster and i could start working on the atmosphere of it. I made her face a little darker and it almost looks as though she is a bit dirty, which fits in with the fact she is the murdered girl who is buried. There are points of light on her face and the way her hair looks as though it is animated makes it seem as if she is coming forward at the audience (like the scene in The Woman In Black where the cloaked ghost moves swiftly down the corridor towards Daniel Radcliffe's character).

I chose this picture because she has an angry expression on her face , yet it could be taken as though she is in pain, as she is obviously screaming and looks anguished meaning she must face some sort or trauma. I did get rid of the red text and changed it to black and white because i think that makes it less of a gory horror than a supernatural horror, which our film ultimately is. I think the tag line at the top looks neat and is very simplistic, provoking mystery in the audience. However i did keep some red on the poster when naming the production team/actors etc, as it would have been too much white if i hadn't and anyway, red is a typical colour of the horror film genre.
