Film Poster

This is the film poster we have created for our trailer. We went for an overall dark tone to the poster to let the audience know the genre and atmosphere they can expect from the film. We think making the Stalker character the most prominent in the poster and surrounding the character in darkness adds an enigma of "who is the stalker?" that audiences would want to see the film to find out. The poster follows the dark, threatening theme from the trailer and magazine cover, the darkness also helps set the genre for the audience and this helps draw people in to watch the film. The main images in the poster are from the trailer or from other productions that we have produced and shows the main actors as well as the main antagonist in the most prominent image, this suggests the film will mostly be set around him. The main title to the film is set in a large font at the top of the page this gives it prominence in the poster and because it is in a white font the word stands out far better than most of the imagery. The tagline "Wherever you go, he"ll be watching" is threatening and directed at the audience, this makes it more personal and draws the reader in. The poster also has the main credits for the film which can tell the audience who produced it and who is starring in the film, this information is vital as a reader might want to know who is in the film as some people only see films if they have a certain actor or actress. As well as this the poster contains the release month and year which gives an idea of when the film will be released. We have also positioned the 'company' logo in the bottom corner, this is to tell the audience who the production company is and this can inform the reader what the film budget is.

Our film poster had initially been simply the image of the main antagonist on a black background with the film title 'stalker' at the bottom. however over time we added film credits to the bottom , this was brought in from our trailer. Along with this we added several different images to the main image, this was to show the audience the various different characters in the film . The black background we added to give the idea of what the film was about, as from this the audience can probably infer the idea that the film is a horror and maybe even a thriller. The film title has remained in the same position throughout production, we felt that most posters we had seen had their titles at the bottom, this helps draw the audience and with our title 'Stalker' it links to the main image and genre.
