Colours and design ideas/ RMA Inspiration

For my poster and magazine cover i want the image to really stand out and be iconic for the Shadow movie, for example screams iconic image is the white ghost mask and when people see this they tend to talk about the movie which is what i want to create with my advertisement package.











For the colours i think darker colours would best suit the image that i am hoping to have as they will best compliment the dark and dingy feel of the poster and help tell the audience that this is in the horror genre of films.

For the layouts i went back to my trailers that i looked at and looked at the posters which helped advertise their films.

 This is the You're Next poster and i really like how the image is the entire poster i think using this idea for my poster will help create that iconography of The Shadow that i am hoping to achieve. What i also like about this is the text as it is different to the standard text on the Paranormal activity poster however things like the release date being quite small in that writing is hard to read so differentiating the font is key for my poster as i want it to be informative as well as eye catching.






This is the Paranormal Activity 4 poster and this has a smaller image but more use of text which i really like, The use of text to make a slogan or phrase helps people who may not have seen the first paranormal activities get an idea of what they are and although my final poster may not have 2 Phrases the use of one is key. You're Next also has this use of a slogan with "Did you remember to lock your door?" This is a good phrase as if the audience were looking at the poster that is asking them a question it will make them think.
