For this task I needed to make a poster for my opening sequence, prior to this task I conducted research on horror film posters - whilst doing this I found the detail was kept to a minimal with an image as the main attraction. I decided to again use the Photoshop as the software. I chose this image again as it gives a hint to what the film was about but does not give too much away - this is what I commonly found with the image on the film poster.
I decided to have little detail - I chose to put the release date at the top so it stood out amongst the rest of the information. The title of the film is the biggest wording on the poster as it is the most important information - for both the date and title I decided to make them red, this is because red is commonly linked to a psychological thriller and it also stands out with the main image as the main image consists of different colours. The typical conventions of a film poster also include information of the cast and crew included in the film, this is found at the bottom of the poster. I chose the colour of this information to be white as it still needs to stand out but it is not directly linked to the horror genre such as the title. The different text styles on Photoshop are limited but I managed to find one that both stands out and reflects the genre of the opening sequence.
