Creating the finished poster

 This is a snapshot of our final poster being created - in this image we had added the text onto the image that I myself had manipulated and put together. We used many conventions from Amy's poster, we used her title as I feel that the glowing effect is mysterious, intriguing and ghostly - a liquefy effect was used inside the text and a strong outer glow was added on the outside giving it the bold striking look that it has, we also decided to give our trailer a more professional feel we would add the names of the actresses above the title to emphasise their importance. I think that the film poster looks much better now that we have chosen the best parts from each members poster as we were able to combine ideas and make a much more effective and unique movie poster.
This second image is of the movie poster when it has all most been finished, the only thing that is left to add is the final tag line, which me and my team member Amy will brainstorm on. We have changed the structure of the billing block that I had created to make it look easier to read and less squashed together - we decided to have a continuous colour scheme of red, white and black and the use of red on our poster has made it much bolder and brighter, and really adds to the theme of horror and gives insinuations of the gory and sinister nature of the film.
We have used Shona's idea of writing a quote from a review at the top, as this will give the viewers a feel for others opinions of the film and it does give the poster a more professional feel as we have commonly seen quotes from magazine's at the top of film posters. We have written 'coming soon' and the date of our film at the bottom so that viewers are able to know when the film is out and also the words 'coming soon' create anticipation for the potential viewers.

Final Copy of Poster.
 This is the final copy for the poster with the added tag line that Amy and myself had come up with in the lesson, which is, 'Don't look into the mist...She will come for you ' I think that this tag line is effective as it is intriguing and sounds like a warning to viewers making them scared and curious. We chose to write the tag line along the top making it a main focus for the viewer and we chose the font colour of red, so that it would link with our continuous colour scheme of red, white and black.
Overall I am very pleased with our final product as I feel it promotes the film well, and makes a viewer curious - which is exactly the effect that I was hoping the poster would have, we have now chosen the final tag line ' Don't look into the mist...She will come for you', which me and team member Amy had put together we think that this does not give anything about the film away, but says just enough to make the viewers intrigued.
