Inital Poster designs

The following are posters that we designed. We want the release of the posters to reflect the type of genre the film is and reflect the mystery around the film. We came up with a 'Trainspotting, Blair Witch Project' inspired idea of releasing more then one poster.
We want to start with a poster that doesn't revile much information at all about the film, we then want to move onto releasing a poster that hints more about the film but still doesn't release too much information and then we finally want to release a poster that is more detailed and tells you more about the film. here are the following ideas that we have come up with so far.





We like this design because we feel that it reflects the film well. It is cryptic as the information is limited. The colours are to the conventions of horror film poster with the Reds, Blacks etc. We thought that the colour Red worked well as it hints that the film could involve some form of danger.



This second design rev a little more information about the film however still is quite simple and cryptic. The Exit sign is still in the poster so the audience would see the connection. We have chosen to use a grainy black and white effect because we wanted to make sure it still looked like a Mockumentary poster would and not make it too glossy and 'Hollywood'. We feel that this poster is also believable and fits well with our themes throughout the film.



The final poster reveals more information about the film. It shows the actress and also gives a short description about what the film is about. This would make a good final poster as it is eye catching however you also have to look at the image to work out what is going on. As mentioned before the poster suits the style and themes of the film. The colours suit the common conventions of horror film/ Mockumentary style posters. We included a caption that sounds factual like what is used in most posters of this genre.
