  I like thefact that in these posters the face of the creatures are kept ambiguous to the audience, which is why the audience go to watch the film to find out who the character is. I also like the fact that the phone plays a key feature in the one missed called poster, which suggest that the phone may be a key object in the film. I took this to consideration for my trailer which involves a supernatural creature and also includes a phone.

  I want touse these magazine covers has an inspiration for my magazine cover because of the aspects in which they include such as; the font colour Red which is a Horror convention and also a colour that stands out in each of these magazine covers, it catches the attention of the reader. I will be using Empire as my brand name because of its reputation, and lastly I like the fact that in each of these magazine covers they also focus on a object which conveys to what the film is about e.g. Gun and a Wand which is something I will be taking into consideration for my magazine cover.

  These are myinspirations for my Demon Poster, I like how the figure of batman is shown with its dark feature. In the wilderness poster since my film is based in the woods I could use the background of my location (woods) and put and like this poster add my film title, however I still think its plain. The Blair Witch Project poster is one that really stood out to me, it simple but at the same time draws the audiences attention to what is going on, which is something I took into consideration for my poster.

  I was notsure which poster to pick for my film, both posters include inspirations from films Wilderness (Left poster) and Blair Witch Project ( Right poster). I decided to go for the poster on the right because I felt that it conveyed more about my horror film than the other poster, I found that the other poster was too plain.

  I also chosethis photo for my poster because this is the main character that will appear in all stages of my marketing campaign, I wanted the face of the character to remain unknown to the audience to build tension with the audience wanting to know who it is, This inspiration came from horror posters like scream. I chose these two photos for my film poster because I felt that they related more to my second draft trailer of demon wood, whilst the other photos I thought had to do more with my first draft Pick Up. I wanted the photo of the woods to be the background of my poster , this inspiration came from other Horror trailers based in the forest or woods where they would use the background to suggest the location of the film. I chose this photo also because it creates a sense of isolation and suspense. 10

  These are whereall the inspiration for my magazine cover will come from, I looked at Empire magazine special issues and covers of when Empire are promoting a film, they would change the general Empire logo and subject it to the theme of the film they are promoting. One Empire magazine I looked at had a film poster advertised inside which gave me some ideas. I took all these aspects into consideration for my magazine cover.
