I was pleased to produce a Horror movie poster which I had to create with my own pictures and own ideas. My poster shows two girls who are stepsisters and one wants to kill the other because of jealousy. This jealousy is based on the bigger stepsister who is envious on the good relationship between the younger one and the parents.
The title of the movie is ‘The Stepsister’ which deals with the two girls and I took the title because the people are used to the naughty stepsister. So when I thought about what type of poster it should be it came to my mind that because of the bad stepsister myth, it could be a good theme for a horror movie. The slogan ‘Don’t trust the smile’ comes from the deviousness of a person who is smiling but thinking something extreme different.
The title is in the biggest font size because it has to be the eye catcher. The slogan is a little smaller than the title but also big enough to read on the first view. But the actors name and director’s name are a much smaller than the slogan and title. I chose the color dark blue because it looks mysterious and scary. I also screened in the directors name and the name of the actors. I just created new names for the directors because I didn’t refer to anything that I had in my mind.
I edited the picture of my sister on Photoshop, cut the head of my picture off, copied this part and pasted it into the picture with my sister. I made the light a little brighter on the part of my head and put my head into the upper left corner because the viewers attention goes first to the middle and then to the corners.
For the smudging of the people around the little girl I took the tool ‘smudge’.
Because of the higher and lower position is there Juxtaposition.
In my poster the signifier is the big stepsister because you can see how much she hates her sister. The signified is the mean smile in her face and the danger which comes from it because you as the viewer could think a lot but do not know exactly what will happen.
In conclusion I think that this is a good example for a horror film because it shows how extreme it could be in a family and in my opinion it is nothing what somebody just imagined because they were bored, but something realistic. The viewer gets the first impression that the girls like each other and just on the second view you realize because of the title and the dark colors the danger which is coming.
