Drafts of ideas for posters

The poster in which i am going to create will be given away for free with the film magazine, therefore the poster will be either A2 or A3 format as it will feature over one or two pages.
By gathering information from existing posters i have decided to feature the headline 'The Hunted' at the bottom of the poster, my reasons for this is that i think it gives off a subtle effect to the poster almost like at the end of a trailer when the title of the film is revealed. The main image in the draft establishes the main area of the film, which is the creepy forest in which Ellie walks through. For my final poster I would want the trees and woodland area to be featured, my reasons for this being that forests can be viewed as being stereotypical therefore making it a generic convention it also gives off a scary vibe! As the stalker is not revealed in the trailer (which makes it ambigous for the audience) I would like to add a twist by including the hand of the follower, this immediately projects to the audience that the storyline to the film will feature a stalker. The camera will also act as the stalker, as it appears as if the picture is the immediate point of view of the strange follower.
The quotes which are pictured on the image show class and strong positive opinions about the film giving the audience positive feedback, the effect of this being the public trust successful newspapers therefore their opinion helps with the progression and success of the film. The quotations used are simple and perhaps stereotypical phrases, to project the information across to the audience. Underneath the headline 'The Hunted' I have included five rating stars to reveal and add an extra element of quality and proffessionalism to the poster.

This poster is another idea in which I have come up with which I may use when creating my final poster. The main image on the poster features a large tree which exists in the forest this establishes the main location and possibly what the film is going to include. Ellie (the main character) is displayed with her face looking anxiously around the tree appearing physically frightened and timidly behind the tree appearing as if someone is watching her, which is the effect I am after as the film is based around a stalker. I have also included quotations from popular and well known magazines/newspapers therefore increasing the films popularity and success. The title of the film 'THE HUNTED' is displayed in capital letters as the headline of the poster therefore to reflect importance and grasp the readers attention. The date in which the film is going to be released is also featured beneath the headline so that the reader knows when to expect the release of the film, it will also let the public be alerted as listen out for the exact release date of the film. However when coming to make my final product I may publish an exact date to make the poster appear more precise.
