Poster Possibilities

These are images of what our poster for the teaser trailer could eventually look like, with all these images being reflective of the drawn out version previously shown. All of the pictures show the hand of a 'deceased' person, or so the audience will think, and each contains the name and release date of the film in order to gain the audience's attention.




The image above shows a horizontal view of the hand in which the titles include the people who starred in the film, in an almost typewriter font. I think this is effective as the names stand out due to the poster being black and white however in terms of the view of the hand i think a different angle would have benefitted it, like the other versions of the posters below. The tag is placed above the hand with focus being on this, important for the audience as we want it to catch their attention.


The poster above is in colour which i think is perhaps less effective than the black and white ones, however i prefer the angle and perspective of the hand and where the typography is placed, and i think the shadows on the black and white posters looks more effective and has a better aesthetic quality.


This is the same as the poster above yet i think it works better with it being in black and white. The shadow looks more professional and reminiscent of film noir, yet i maybe think that a splash of colour would again benefit the poster as although our teaser trailer isn't the conventional horror genre, i think we at least want some definition of horror in order for this to connote to the audience.


The last image shows the hand at a different angle which is probably less effective than the others above as not all of the hand can be seen. I like the way in which the tag has been placed and the typography on it as it is a bit more bold than the others and clearer. The shadow is darker which could have sinister connotations which ultimately help promote the horror genre. Although i dont prefer the way the titles of the characters names have been shown as there is less emphasis on them.
