Horror Research- Women In Black Poster

I feel that images are important in a film poster because the graphics are probably the main thing that would catch the audience’s eye. However I feel that it may have been over-used slightly in this poster, I think 2-3 images of the film should be included at the maximum. The use of colour is good; by using bull and dark colours throughout the poster it can help the audience gain a feel for the genre of the film. The poster can tell the audience that the film will involve the character in the centre but it is clever as it does not give away too much. As there is little colour in the poster I feel that the use of the blue in the eye of the character in the centre of the page is more effective. 

I have noticed in a variety of film posters that there will be credits, actors, dates, production companies etc. in smaller and maybe a different font at the bottom of the poster. They often include a slogan or rhetorical question, such as "what did they see?", I would like to include this in my work because I feel that it involves, intrigues and catches the eye of the audience more than other texts. The font that has been used throughout the poster can give the audience a feel for what period in time the film is set, in this case it is the Victorian era (1920 - 1950's). If i was to make this poster again, rather than all 8 pictures included, i would use 1-2 pictures. I would select these images carefully, i would try to use the pictures of the setting more than characters, and I feel that the setting in this film plays a very large part in the "fear factor". However i would include one of the characters in the house to give the audience more of an understanding of what’s going on.
