Final film poster

Here is the final draft of my horror poster. In my hand sketched initial ideas, I decided to use Alx edited to a effect where it reflects the horror genre. I then re-thought about my inital ideas and used a doll's house. I wanted to use a image that wouldn't over power the blood effect and cover most of the wall paper. The doll house is relevant as it's a key item in the trailer as well as the box. I thought about using a image of the box, but I wanted to use a fairly bigger image. The doll house is connected to the narrative as the girl used to play with it a lot. Here I added the 15 age certificate symbol and imported the house into the poster de-saturated with a drop shadow effect. I decided to use a teddy bear with a knife as props like these denotate the genre greatly. Children's toys like this are used in the Silent Hill film and game franchise. Silent Hill is one of my inspirations for the project. The teddy bear's head is also slanted in a demented like way. This kind of effect is inspired by The Exorcist and is completely juxtaposed to the objective of a teddy bear which is to be cute. I also de-saturated it as was too bright and took too much attention away from the main image. To keep a consistent main house style like in my AS coursework, I feature my psuedo production company logo on my poster too. This will be in my film trailer and website too. So that the audience can recognise it in all products.
