This is a poster for the film called The Others, The Others is a psychological horror like mine and so i am taking inspiration for this poster. the main aspect i am taking inspiration form is the illumination, i have said this in a previous post but the this that is different in this is that the light is coming from an object so i may consider doing that for my final poster. I have a scene at the end where the spirit is surrounded by candles so to link to that idea i was thinking of having one of the actors holding a candle and the flame lighting up their faces. The way half her face is lit up and then gets darker really reflects on the film and trailer itself as it goes from happy family to sadness and dark situations, o when making my poster i will consider this as my storyline also goes from happy to scary. This poster is quite simple what with one person, one prop and no background and that is what i like because that way your eye is drawn to one thing and in a way it makes it even scarier because she is by herself in the dark.
The tag line is at the top of the poster ''sooner or later they will find you'' it is written in the darkness and doesn't stand out greatly. so when it comes to my poster I will consider making the tag line blend in a little with the background, as it can convey something hiding away in the darkness.
The colour of the writing matches the illumination of the light, this poster like others i have looked at has a colour scheme so everything links together, giving it a professional look.
The picture itself looks like a screen cap because she is not looking directly at the camera and instead has a scared expression on her face to convey fear. Her eye line is also looking into the darkness next to her which gives of the scary and horror feel. leaving the question in the audience mind what is in the darkness?.
