Poster- The Hills have eyes

This is an official poster of the film "The Hills Have Eyes". I can tell straight away from this picture on the poster that there is going to be a lot of torture because of the hand pushing down on the girls face. This shows that this is going to be a violent movie with a lot of danger. You can tell that the characters will be frightened and scared. This is very different to any other poster I have analysed because the background of the poster is very light comparison to the paranormal activity poster. This means that this might be set in a lighter location like a desert as it looks very sandy and also the hand is wearing a glove. I really like the caption.slogan under the title because I find it very catchy and it is very appealing. I think that I will take this idea and do this on my own poster. Again I like the fact that the picture is covering the whole background which makes the picture the center of attention and catches the audiences eye. I feel that this poster is very effective and I really like it because even though it is simple it works well. If you look closely at the poster at the top you can see there is some hills which links in with the title so they have used pictures on the poster that link in with title which I find very effective. It is the small effective things that make the differece to a good poster and this is what I want to portray in my own poster.

Poster- Paranormal Activity

This is the official poster for the film "Paranormal Activity" I don't really think that this is an appealing poster because it feels very neat and tidy. This is because there isn't words over the picture which makes it look to perfect in a way, as there is writing at the top, picture in the middle and the title at the bottom. I also think that there is too much writing on the poster which also makes it unappealing to the audience especially for people that don't like reading. A poster should be short and snappy so that it sticks in the audiences head. You can tell from the picture that this film will be mainly filmed through a video camrea showing that the story might be real life. I like the effect of the title as it look like it has been smudged which shows that it is important because it is printed twice. I also like the contrasts of the colour because it makes the title stand out and catches the audiences eye quickly. This is definatley one of the effects that i am going to use to make the title stand out as more people remember the title. You can tell that this movie is a horror movie because of the colours that are used on the poster showing that it is darkness and there will be a lot of danger in this film because of the captions that are used at the top but also because of the colours. I think that the caption at the top is the most important thing on the poster because it tells the audience a lot about the film i just think that it is too long and will put people of reading it. But I think that it is the most important thing on the poster and that is why it has been put at the top of the poster in white writing. I think that the effect of this whole poster is like a news article because the the font that is used and because of the strict layout.

Poster- Nightmare On Elm Street

This is the official poster that was released for the movie "A Nightmare On Elm Street". As you can see this poster is very dark which portrays the genre of the film as it shows the darkness and the danger that will be in the film. I like this poster because it is very simple but effective at the same time. This is because the image on the poster covers the whole of the posters which shows that it is the most important thing in the movie and this is what tells the story. The layout of the poster is very simple as the image is in the middle of the poster and the title is underneath the poster along with the actors and actresses staring in the film. This informs the audience who the main characters are in the film which could persuade them to watch it if they like the actors and actresses. I like the effect of the title because it is the opposite colour to the background which makes it stand out a lot more meaning it is easier for the audience to see as it will catch the eye easily. The main picture on the poster is the claw that covers half of the womens face. This shows that this will be the main danger in the film. The genre is very easy to see as all the effects on the poster tells you. This means that the effect on the title gives the signal that something bad is going to happen as it is as if it is scratched or in a way it is showing a sign of blood. Also if you look closely on the picture in the background there is a drawing of a grave stone showing that people will die in this movie and there will be violence.

Movie Trailer- Godfather

This is a Thriller movie trailer. I am looking at this trailer because of the music that is in the background. This is because I am looking at having scary music in the background and this music is really good. I like it whenever a word comes on the screen or a differnt picture/scene comes on the screen there is a thud or a bang that is in the bankground to make affect for the audience to show that either something bad is going to happen or danger is about to occur. The music that occurs is a loud drum beat. The lighting in this trailer is very good as it is dark but you can still see everything that is going on. You can see that the camera only zooms in and concerntrates on importants bits in the film but also important faces. This makes it very instrumental and links in well with the music. Also when there is another picture that comes on the screen the screen goes black which is a good effect because it makes the audience wonder what is going to come up yet and it makes them waiting. I think that i will transfer this into my own trailer so it makes the audiende more interested and inrtigued in what is going to happen. The music gets more upbeat when more dangerous stunts and things happen in the trailer this will get the audiences heart racing and wanting to see more but also see the stories. Finally I like at the end when the title comes on and the music finishes straight away but with a bang to show the audience that this is the title of the film and it is a big film that you shouldnt miss.

Movie Trailer- The Lovely Bones

This trailer has a certificate of 12. This shows that there is only a little bit of gore in this movie and it isn't detailed because the target audience is 12. I don't think that I will use this target audience for my movie trailer I think that I will target my movie at the age range of 15 so that I could have more violence in the movie if I wanted because at least I have a choice what I can put in it. This movie trailer starts of very nice and calm and has a lot of love in it with both her family and a boy she likes. The actress is doing a voice over in this trailer that i like a lot and this might be another technique that i use in my own movie trailer. The effects start to appear once she said she was murdered. I like these effects because they are simple but the create fear and tension. The effect that is used makes the screen go black in time with the music and it is all in time so it is more effective for the audience. I like the quick shots that are used at the end to create more drama and tension this is another effect that i want to try and portray in my own movie trailer. This movie trailer is very different from the rest that i have analysed because it doesn't look like a thriller which means that it is very unconventional. This is one thing that I don't want to do in my own movie trailer.

Movie Trailer- The Crazies

This is a movie trailer of the crazies. The genre of this film it mystery, thriller and horror.The certificate for this film is a 15. This is where abouts the target market that i want my film to be for. This gives me a good understanding of what is aloud in a 15 trailer but also what is not and the extent of the blood and guts is showed. In this trailer I like how there is lots of quick cuts with the sound track going with it. This shows a lot of technical ability and skill to do this. This is the kind of thing that I want to recreate with mine. I also like how the producers and the distributors names come up throughout the beginning of the trailer. This is also something i need to think about as i need to make up a production company and also a logo to go with this. The other affect that I like is where the phrases come up they have put an effect of that screen. I think that this will look very good in my trailer and I will be thinking of recreating this is a similar way. The heavy breathing and dialogue of the characters have been chosen very well to make sure that the target audience is scared and this is due to the fact there is tension building throughout the trailer. Near the end of the trailer there is a soundtrack that is sad. This shows that their plan has not gone the way they through it would. The music is a very big part of the trailer as it tells a story and makes the target audience feel sorry for the characters but also its informative and this creates the story is a short space of time. This is what I want to do in my trailer, for it to be informative without speaking that much.
