Comparison: Poster

Here is a poster i think looks quite similar to ours, mainly because of the colour scheme and the main image in the middle.
I am comparing these two ancillary products to see how much ours relates to proper professional posters. We have used the colour scheme as shown in the image below black white and red, The black is common in the horror genre to give a sense of a dark atmosphere and make it appear more spooky, this is clearly more appropriate and effective than brightly coloured backgrounds. The image on the last house on the left is fairly small but the white mist makes it look mysterious, this is the effect I've tried to create on our poster.
Although on the last house on the left poster some of the text is in red, i think on our poster we don't have as much red text this is to insinuate that there isn't going to be that much blood just because our film is a 15 and is aimed at a slightly younger audience. I think the simplicity of this poster is effective and it just makes it look like a darker film.



I have adapted and developed the ancillary product by making the tag line at the bottom of the image considerably larger to create more of an impact on the audience. I have also made a shadow beneath the title deranged which i think fits into the horror genre, and creates more atmosphere. Also in ours we used the main character instead of setting because it links well to the trailer so that people can associate the poster and trailer. Whereas if it is a setting similar setting could be in other films, and the audience could possibly not distinguish the poster as being linked to a particular film.
