POSTER IMAGES

DIANA DANIELA SIMON

IMAGE 1

▸Advantages;

▸ This could be a good image to use for my poster

due to the fact that the twins are standing beside

each other and you can tell that the movie is going

to be about two twins.

▸Another advantage of this image is the fact that

their face looks peaceful however the makeup on

their face and the contact lenses scream out

horror, therefore this mixture of peacefulness and

horror creates some sort of panic.

▸Disadvantages;

▸A disadvantage of this image is the framing, and

shadows - the twin on the right is much more in

frame as she is taking more of the image whereas

the twin on the left is not in frame. This can

suggest that the twin on the right is more powerful

and dominant and that is not what I want my poster

to show to the audience.

IMAGE 2

▸Advantages;

▸Being so close together and their contact

lenses being right beside one another implies

the fact that they are on person within - this

links in with the my films idea as it is about

them doing a ritual to bring the devil into

human form (the contact lenses could perhaps

be the devil himself - so his two eyes)

▸Their eyes are wide open and they have a

straight face without any other emotions this is

also a factor which can freak out the audience

and will automatically shout horror.

▸Disadvantages;

▸A disadvantage of this image is the fact that

the twin which is on the right has her body

forwards whereas the other twins body is

behind and slightly slanted which can again

show that one is more dominant than the

other.

IMAGE 3

▸Advantages;

▸An advantage of this image is the fact that it is only

showing half of their faces which makes the audience

picture their whole face and could perhaps use both of

their halves to make one. once again this link in with my

‘twin’ theme

▸Disadvantages;

▸A disadvantage of this image is the fact that the twins are

posing differently meaning that you can tell the

differences between them. The one on the right has her

head lifted up whereas the others head is straight

forward.

▸Another disadvantage in this image is the fact that one of

them appears taller than the other and once again I

wouldn't want to show the idea that one is more dominant

than the other.

DISCUSSION

▸ I believe that these three images are the most suitable for

my poster cover. Most of the disadvantages mentioned

previously can be overcome through editing, however the

main purpose of choosing the ideal is image is so that the

audience will like it and that the image will actually attract

them into wanting to watch the film.

▸ I am going to show these three images around my sixth form

and ask which ones they would expect so see on a horror

movie poster.
