Film Teaser Poster design Research

Supernatural Thriller film teaser poster design research

The last exorcism

The first poster I found from my research was The last Exorcism. The design background fits well for this film . The use of dark colours symbolise a mood for the film, this is really effective as it helps show the audience what the film genre is. The use of a significant bright red colour in the credits of the poster, for example the directors name is coloured in a red design, this is really good as it pops out to the audience from the background image. The reds may also represent Horror as its a colour that represents danger. This is something I consider to use for my film poster as our film has several symbols of danger for example blood. Other icons in this design is the image of the women who is bent double backwards this is also a clear visual link to the supernatural thriller genre and horror. The reason for this is that its unnatural for someone to be able to bend backwards like this.

The Apparition 

The second teaser poster which I came across whilst researching was The Apparition. The concept of this design is suitable for the horror genre with a link to our chosen genre of supernatural thriller. The centre image has a horror design feel to it, the use of the hands which are surrounding the girl look abnormal. The colours used in this design are dull and give a shadow effect this may link to the 'thing' in the film that is grabbing the girl, from her expression it looks like shes shocked and vulnerable from this 'thing' sneaked up on her.
