Making my poster

Making a poster for our film 'Spence Level' is complicated as we have hundreds of photos of the scenery and actors but its hard to find one that is suitable for a poster. from our shooting day we have various photos of the landscape, evidence of our shooting and also some action shots of the actors.
By using The Descent's film poster as my main influence I have chosen a few images which I think will work particularly well. These two pictures are rough ideas of the layout and images I want to use in my poster. These posters are not finished. I showed the rest of the media group, which is roughly the age of our target audience, and asked them to vote on which images work better on the poster.

The one with the green image at the bottom was the most popular in the voting as people said it had more relevance to the film trailer. Throughout the process of making my poster I continually looked back to the Descent's poster and some of the media conventions followed within. for example, the rule of thirds is used and the images are either on one side of the poster or on either side. There are a variety of posters for each different film. To really create the psychological effect I wanted I knew that I would have to have a picture of someone’s face quite close up. There is more fear in someone’s eyes then in an inanimate object. I have used the same style as the poster for The Descent by using two images. The text I have used is distorted for an eerie effect.
