Due to the fact I will be re-creating my own poster linked to my trailer as part of my coursework, I will be looking at different types of posters from a variety of genres, and annotating each one pointing out the conventions of posters.

After my partner and I had made our titles for both trailers when editing, we thought that our initial font didn't look so successful. Therefore we did some more research into fonts, and found a much more suitable one which looked a lot better within the trailers, poster and website. The font is called ' Baskerville ' and below is an example:  Baskerville  DOLLHOUSE

We thought it would be suitable to use this house as where the 'crazed surgeon' lived to make him seem normal at first.  For the second half of the trailers, we wanted to film in an isolated area in order to enhance that our characters are completely trapped with no idea of where they are.  This is the road we chose for our character's car to break down, due to it's quiet surroundings helping to build up suspense for the audience. 

My partner and I decided to give our film a 15 certificate. This is because it includes things such as dangerous behaviour, language, violence, threat and horror. We also wanted to choose a 15 because if we chose an 18 it would mean that a lot less people will be able to see it in the cinema. Therefore, the 15 certificate allows for it to reach a broader audience.

This post will give you a detailed idea of what issues - bad language, drugs, sex and violence, or the use of discriminatory language or behaviour, for instance - that you're likely to find in the film. It also raises any other issues that may be of concern, such as divorce or bereavement.  U UNIVERSAL - SUITABLE FOR ALL - A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. - U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threats or horror. PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE  - General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. - A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. - Unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.             ...
