Poster idea




  • The several hands grabbing the body from below, expression screaming
  • I could change the background to a white room, or a forest
  • The several hands around her could represent the split personalities
This would appeal to me as a customer wishing to view our trailer, though i don't want it to be misleading like Drag Me To Hell was, because it wasn't as good as the poster makes it out to be..

Although a lot of elements from The Ward have inspired our trailer, the poster happens to be just as interesting and eye catching as well;
  • The main character is in a ripped and filthy white nightgown, screaming and showing restraint from the hands that have hold of her arms
  • The background is black, which already gives off the hint that it is of the horror genre
  • The only negative thing about this poster is that remaking something similar would be difficult
Each of the posters i am planning to do would have the same elements i.e, costumes, colour, font size and colour etc.
The one i am leaning towards is the 'Drag Me To Hell' design, because each part of the poster  is what i would want to see in a horror poster, and what i am aiming to include in my own. The idea of hands grabbing the main character downwards - showing dominance which is what would represent her split personalities, and the part they play is what overpowers her and forces her to do things against her own will.
But to include and remake all of this would look a bit unoriginal and the idea would not be my own.
So I'm going to combine the two ideas together, with the main character's back facing the camera, her head glancing over her right shoulder whilst she would be muddy, dressed ripped and her hair wet and draping over her face, the smirk on her face and the hands grabbing either her legs or from behind her waist.
The background would cause a problem, seeing as most of our shooting would be in a forest and a white room, so either of the two would be prefect. Though to find a white room with a simplistic bed and the shadow of the window creeping into the shot would be hard to find, also the fact of her being muddy, ripped and wet in a clean room would not make sense, so the woods would kind of piece it together.
The image below is a possible model idea of what my image would look like, though to remake this without it looking armature will prove a difficult task.
