When creating my film poster and magazine cover I had to choose an image that I thought would look effective and dramatic. I decided to use a picture of our villian on both as she is the main focus of the film and is the main basis of the storyline. I also think she is a good character because she uses the idea of binary oppositions as we have created her using icongraphy of innocence by dressing her in a white dress, giving her pigtails in her hair and giving her a teddy bear to carry around. I therefore shot a number of images of her in front of a plain background from different angles and shot distances so that I could choose which ones I thought looked best for the poster and magazine cover. These are the two images I used on my ancillary products.
I created a few different variations of my horror poster. Originally I made a portrait version of it which worked well but I felt that there was too much blank space on it where her forehead was which drew attention away from her eyes. So I then made one using just one eye but I didn't like this as much as the one with two eyes. To overcome the problem of the blank space I decided to use my original poster but turn it landscape so that I could stretch out the image further so that it was more a closeup on her eyes. I liked this final attempt the best so I used this as my final horror poster. Below are my first attempts.
My horror magazine has not had much experimentation done on it but in the first version of it the picture is further up and underneath the title slightly. For the final procuct I moved it down further so that it can be seen clearly. I also reduced the amount of the white gradient at the bottom of the cover in the final version as this looked better and made the image appear darker which links to the horror genre more.
