This is our first draft of our Magazine front cover. We chose not to choose this one because we felt that it didn't show the genre of our film well and the image wasn't right for what we wanted to show. We thought that the magazine itself didn't show the genre well because Spiderman and having interviews with actors/actresses that aren't linked to the horror genre took the attention away from our picture and led the attention to famous actors and films.
This is the poster we chose to show our film. We managed to draw the attention mainly to our film and adding other films to do with the horror genre e.g The Woman In Black. Also we added in the title of our film in the same font and style as it is shown in our trailer. This makes our film instantly recognisable as a horror because the red represents blood and the way everything but the red of Santa's suit also adds to this horror feeling. These conventions help the audience recognise the genre of the film and capture their attention.
