Possible Poster / Website Pictures

This picture would be suitable for my poster / website, due to the use of the close up used allowing more detail to be seen. The lighting within this photo is coming from underneath, therefore allowing shadows to be created above the windows and door making the house look sinister. Therefore, the picture overall can come across as overwhelming and engaging towards the viewer.

This image is also a close up, of several unsettling looking dolls which were used as props within my trailer. The lighting helps to make the dolls look even more creepy with the shadows behind them. However, the colour palette doesn't include just a lot of dark colours and so doesn't look sinister enough.

This photo is of a medium close up of one of the actresses who features within my trailer. My partner and I decided to do her doll makeup on only half of her face to resemble her character within the narrative. Overall, the picture is visually effective although there could be better lighting in order to make the picture look even more unsettling.

This is a medium close up of the doll house which features in my trailer. The colour palette is effective as it includes only de-satruated colours and has a black background. The lighting adds to the haunting effect of the picture and would definitely engage the viewer's attention.

Potential Sketch Layouts

After doing research into different kinds of film posters, I sketched out 3 different potential layouts I may want to use for the poster of my film. I noticed a trend within horror film posters - they all seem to have very minimal writing on them and most likely has one main image. Therefore due to this I think that the top, and bottom posters would be the most successful.
