Film Poster - Editing picture

This is the image i have chosen to use for my film poster. I decided to use this image as it is very simple but her expression is very engaging and eye catching which makes the image work well for the purpose of our film. In our trailer the little girl (above) has a 'evil' side to her and makes mysterious spooky things happen in the house. I think this is captured in her facial expression as she is evilly staring at the camera, but at the same time, not giving too much away, making the audience want to know more.

I have cropped the image down to get rid of the extra space around her, making her face central and the most eye catching feature on the page. I tried out the image in black and white but found it looked much more effectively in colour so instead i upped the contrast and brightness of the image which made it stand out more and make her facial features and expression more distinct. I didn't want to add many effects to the image because i wanted it to remain simple with her facial expression left to tell the story.

Photoshoot!

Here are some pictures that we took over the course of two photoshoots. These pictures are of a selection of the pictures that we took, i didn't want to upload all of the pictures taken, so i just uploaded some of the best ones that i could use for my magazine cover or film poster. These photos have not been edited at all, the pictures i choose to use will defiantly have to be edited to make them fit more with the horror theme!

Target Audience

When we first started thinking about the target audience for our trailer, we thought it would be a good idea to also consider the certificate of the film. We decided that a 18 rating would be best for our film. Even though our film doesn't use physical violence or graphic blood scenes, which you might expect in a horror film of such a high rating, we want our film to go down the root of more psychological horror. We didn't want many restrictions in what we could and couldn't film, we wanted to make it as scary and jumpy as possible, in as many ways as we could, so therefore we decided on a 18 certificate.


Once we decided that our film was going to be a 18, it automatically narrowed down our target audience. Our film would therefore be aimed at a audience of young adults, roughly between the ages of 18 - 35. Most people either love horror films or hate them, so our film would defiantly be aimed at those people who love horror films.
