Church Location

I went around a lot of churches, asking whether I could film inside, and most were closed or said no, or the church didn't look nice enough, but then I found what I considered to be the one, and went inside to ask the vicar. He was very friendly and gave us permission, we shot later that day.

Poster Research

I think the theme for my poster should be in the style of old victorian posters. They are highly decorative, often in bright but non-garish colours, like navy blues and deep reds. They encompass the victorian era with quite sinister drawings. There is probably an effect on photoshop, where I could make a photograph look like a drawing, this would be useful.

Poster Research

Hammer films were where Gothic Horror originally came from. The posters are usually made up of cartoon drawings depicting dynamic poses and scary looking monsters. They use a lot of eye catching red, a colour associated with blood and therefore horror.

I'd like to have an effect like this for the woman in my film, as if she is a ghostly memory. It also keeps with the period of the film.

Poster Ideas

I like how this poster gives the impression that the story within the film is real. Here, you notice the poster before the film title. It is made to look like a poster issued by the government, as a result of a virus escaping into the city. It therefore shocks you before you realize its just for a film. This kind of poster makes a film feel like more than a film; it engages the audience by effecting them in their day to day life, taking itself seriously even outside the film and therefore making it seem more believable. This causes more of an excitement to see it.

I like film posters like 'The Good German' where they embrace the period of the film extensively. The poster is made to look like an old film poster, like the ones during the war. This technique, similarly to the '28 weeks later' poster, creates an active audience, outside of the film. The film is a homage to 1940s films, for example, being in black and white, and the poster reflects this too.

My poster could create an active audience by being a missing persons poster, for example.
