Ancillary Text 2 - Film poster



























For the second ancillary text I created a film poster to combine and work well with the horror film trailer. The image I have chosen reflects the cold and mysterious mood in which I am wanting to create, again fitting with the generic conventions of horror. The shape of the tree also works well with the posture of the main character as it blocks off the bottom off the figure, therefore focusing on the reaction on the character's face.
I have applied the headline 'The Hunted' towards the bottom half of the poster, so that it doesn't take too much attention away from the main image however does attract the reader.
By adding alternate factors such as; advertisements of the film at the bottom of the poster (website and release date), credits, textual phrasing and recognised logos such as the 'Restricted' logo projects an element of verisimilitude and proffesionalism as it is applying and using the generic conventions required for a successful looking film poster.

The poster would be produced in an A4 page format and would be included within the film magazine 'ACT!ON'.
