Practice Promotion Poster

I decided to play around with some photo editing software on my mac called 'Pixelmator'. It works similar to photoshop so I decided to practice making a Promotion poster for my short film. The picture was taken just outside my Grandparents house as I thought the tree and single street light had an amazing creepy look about it, Im considering using this as my official picture due to the awesome look it has. The only thing Id change would be, Im going to have my film 'Villain' stood underneath the street light for the actual poster and obviously more writing on the poster.

I decided to use a 'Trattatello' font which looks quite ghoulish as my film is a slasher. Ive also used red for the colour to represent blood.

The name of the film is 'Who's there?'. I decided on this as I thought I could make a play on words and it would work hand in hand with the tag line 'knock, knock'. From the popular 'Knock knock, who's there jokes'. This would create a sense of irony as the film is a horror not a comedy.

Ive also used them in reverse as normally the 'knock, knock' comes first in the jokes however, Im using it second to create a reverse psychology effect which Im also going to try and do throughout the rest of the film.

'Who's there?' and 'knock knock' also work well for my film as its about a girl being stalked and the rhetorical question 'who's there' implies we dont know.
