The purpose of a film poster is to show the target audience what the films is modelled on, who the film is made by and what is the film actually about which is the main foundation that posters are based on, to show the audience a demonstration on what the film will be. A film poster is used to promote the film in a subtle way that does not reveal too much about the plot of the film. They are used to create a hook for the audience to have a desire to see the film. The poster I am analysing is the 2017 Beauty and the Beast poster. Posters are split into thirds, usually on teaser posters; this rule isn’t followed as there is only minimal information included, such as a title and release date and sometimes the cast or director names. On the classic poster however, they are usually put in these thirds with the top third being the cast names, director names or a tagline, the middle third is known for having a picture and the bottom third would have the title and other credits or...
Location 1- St Mary’s High School This location is spacious and convenient for the cast members to get to as it is a location that everyone is familiar with. As it is a school, it is an extremely appropriate and ideal setting. When filming here I will be using the corridors and the car park. The lighting for these are extremely well lit; this helps to add to the flashback style of the bullying scenes and it also helps to contrast with the darker, more sinister shots when the spirit is present. Location 2 – House The majority of the film, and therefore the trailer, is going to take place in this house. This location is rather ideal as it is spacious and has a fireplace which is what is needed for one of the gore scenes. In addition, it also has the suitable space and facilities to create the prosthetics. It is in a suburban area which is easy to access via the train and easy enough for the cast to get to. The living room, bedroom and possibly the garden will be used for the ope...
Age demographic: 15-30 years old Gender: May appeal more to females over males due to the fact that the majority of the cast are women. Why I have chosen this demographic: Horror films seem to appeal more to younger age groups as they still seek adventure and thrills, so horror films and being scared help to fuel an adrenaline rush that they so dearly desire. Teens may also enjoy the film more as they are of a similar age group to the actors so it may be easier to immerse themselves into the film and relate more to their fear. the common age rating for horrors is a 15 and on some occasions an 18 dependant on how much explicit content is involved. Obviously as my film is horror it will appeal to those who are interested in films with high tension, plot twists and a sense of mystery, in addition to high levels of gore and jump scares.
