What attracted us most to this movie poster was the face emerging from the dark background. This was an idea we had for our poster as the mask the killer wears in our trailer is a main prop throughout the film. The colours on this poster are typical of the horror genre (black, white red) and it's simplicity is what is intriguing. It may take the viewer a closer look to see that he eyes on this face are actually mouths which are open as if they are screaming. This gives the poster an odd look which adds to the fear element. What we mainly wanted to take away from this poster is how the face looks almost mask like because the eyes look like holes.
Our first idea was to have our mask emerging from a dark background like "One Missed Call". We also wanted to make sure the motif could be seen clearly as that was a main feature of our trailer. In this picture we used red light instead of white to conform to the traditional colour of a horror movie poster. However we are reconsidering this as it does cast the rest of the mask in to shadow and it is important for us to have the whole mask showing.
