Evaluation- Dvd poster

Evaluation

This is my DVD poster for my horror trailer. It is advertising my film. It says how the film will be out in cinemas soon. The title is red which represents blood and is associated with danger and power. The main character (in the picture) is powerful and dangerous with her weapon(knife). The rest of the writing is white which represents innocence and purity. The people who the main character is going to get are innocent. In the caption the word 'hide' is red (a different colour) to the rest of the caption, it is also a bit bigger.The picture is a mid shot and is a high angle shot which shows the knife more.She is holding the knife in an awkward, abnormal position to get the audience involved and thinking about it. The picture is zoomed in which emphasizes her scary look and her weapon/knife. There are 5 golden/yellow stars which are the ratings, we have given our trailer. We have a review at the bottom from Total Film magazine, it brings the audience in and lets them know how good or bad the film is, from a professional point of view. In the corner there is a 15 certificate rating.It is a thriller and is too scary and gory to be a 12 rating but is not scary or gory enough to be a 18 rating. This poster will advertise our film until the next poster comes out and shows the exact dates and more information nearer to the release date of the film.
