Draft 1 - Poster

This is the first poster Duniya made using Adobe Photoshop. We used a faded, purple border around the edge of the poster in order to create a spooky, mysterious effect. Purple is also associated with mock horror. We situated cartoon eyes and vampire mouth at the top of the poster in order to create a comical, cartoon style aimed at children as it is something that we thought would catch their eye. It also shows the halloween side to our film. Rodney and the Vampire is written in the center of the poster as it is one of the most important things. We chose to write it in a spooky styled font in the colour Red. This would attract our target audeince of children as well as showing it is not seriously scary and has the theme of 'mock horror'. We then put images of our cast at the bottom of the poster onto a orange background (main colour associated with halloween). We had each character strike a pose which represented their character in an obvious way as it is targeted at children. Rodney is the biggest image as he is the main character surrounded by our 'possey'. The fact that their are 3 children on the right pointing and laughing at Rodney suggests the film will be very comical, however the fact that Danny is situated on the left of Rodney shows he holds more importance in the film. Rodney strikes a comical 'fighting pose' as if he can take anything on so the audience gathers he is a bit of a 'geek' and made fun of. The images of the characters has a cartoon effect on them to blend in with the rest of the poster and the theme of the film.
