More than Human - Poster



Here is the finished product of my found footage horror movie poster.  This poster was created on Photoshop, and was a bit of a challenge for me because I personally have never used Photoshop before in my life, so this was a fun piece of work to create and it was very enjoyable as well as stressful.

I have kept to the old conventions of horror movies by using the colours, Red, Black and White as i felt like they were the most effective colours and that they are more eye catching that the recent trends of horror movie posters, as it gives it a more older look as the reds, blacks and white colours were used in the 80's for a more scarier feel on the audience. As the colour black represents darkness (as many people are afraid of the dark) and represents fear and it also contrasts with the Red writing used as Red is used to conform blood and it stands out on the black background.

The caption "If on thoughts of deaths we are fed. Thus, a coffin, became my bed" is a slogan used to make the film look more frightening and appeal more to the audience as it is used in capitals and in larger writing to try and capture the eye of the audience.

The Title "More Than Human" is used in large, capital writing and in the colours of Red and White. The use of the Red writing here is to stand out against the black background and the white writing, with the word "Than" in a larger font compared to the other words and makes the whole title stand out in the poster and draws the viewer into the poster and making them examine it too.

The faded black and white grave is used to stand out too in the poster, with the writing on the grave being in bold to eye catch the audience. The grave is also used to conform death, supernatural and paranormal activity, linking it with ghosts, zombies etc.
