Here is the final version of my film poster. In creating it I have taken into account the research on existing professional posters and also the feedback I have received from my initial draft.
I have chosen to keep the content fairly simple as I see it to have more of an impact this way. By having the image of the axe man in the shadows it manages to keep a level of mysteriousness, and will therefore mean that people that see the poster will take an active interest into looking further into it. I decided to use the image of the axe rather than a picture of the main actors used (which is what the vast majority of posters do) as the actors aren't well known and don't have any star quality, so therefore wouldn't have any effect on the audience.
The colour scheme is kept to 2 main colours, which are black and gold. By keeping to just two colours it makes the poster easy on the eye and means that viewers are more concentrated on the image in itself rather than the colours included within it. The black is of course stereotypical of a horror because of the connotations of the dark, shadows and the unknown.
The text credits at the bottom follow the typical conventions of a poster. Generally the persons name will be in larger size than their role and the font used is very narrow and long.
