This poster for the film 'Shutter' is a very spooky, well made poster. The font is simplistic, being just in white, with bold capitals. Essentially at first sight it is just a face, but when you look closely it appears to show many different pictures within the face. The darkness surrounding the whole poster is a convention of the horror genre, as horror films don't usually have bright colours as that wouldn't look creepy enough.
By having the font very simple, and the picture very complex, this poster is very interesting and eye catching. It draws you in as at a glance you can see something within the face, but you really have to look in detail to see the full effects within the face.
Although this poster is very creepy and would be brilliant for our trailer, we simply do not have the skills or technology to take a picture of a face and then edit it to make it look very spooky, and then later add in more pictures. This poster is very inspirational for us, as it gives us some new ideas to consider within our poster.
Something I really like about this poster is the tagline 'the most terrifying images are the ones that are real.' This line alone makes you feel frightened as it makes the events within the film seem more realistic and nearer to home. In a lot of horror posters there is a tagline, so we will definitely be including one in our poster.
