Ancillary Task 1
This is my poster in which i have created for my ancillary task. I have used an image which is not an actual still from the film, but it is common practice to stage a photograph for a poster. The film follows conventions of a horror film with a zombie in a graveyard which sets an atmosphere. From my research i have tried to follow a conventional layout from film posters and from the horror genre.
My film is an independent film and the genre is a mainstream genre. I have tried to attract both audiences through my poster. For example independent films need film festival endorsement in order to become known to avid film audiences. Also stating directors previous successes may help sell the film to fans of the director. Another endorsement i included was to add a quote from Empire magazine. The rating of the film at 18 may also attract audiences. Audiences of independent films tend to be older. I chose my poster to be in black and white but it may appeal more to independent film fans but the film mainly will rely on cult appeal which is another reason why i emphasised the director of haunted house.
