In class we annotated various posters in the horror genre, this gave me an initial idea of the layout and the important factors to include in a poster. I found that there are many different creative ways to communicate a theme, plot and genre to audiences. The posters each has something unique about them, for example, in SAW there is no layering of images which makes the subject in both the foreground and background which is very interesting compared Survival of The Dead which has a clear background and foreground and it is clear what the producer wants the audience to focus on using the rule of thirds in the main image. Also, I began developing ideas for my own poster.
