Horror Movie Poster

Silent Night Traumatic Night

For this horror movie poster, i photoshopped a picture of an evil santa clause into a picture i had already taken of luke. I then used the dodge tool to make luke's complexion paler, as if he is frightened of the evil santa. The rest was simple as i simply added titles of different types of font and colour.

The overall film is meant to be about a man dressed as santa clause that, jumps down peoples chimneys and murders them with an axe. The fact that santa is smoking a joint, symbolises the fact that the film does not take itself too seriously. This is contrasted with lukes smile, to help show that he is completely oblivious of what is about to happen to him. The fact that he is pale also helps demonstrate that something bad is about to happen him.

The main hotspots are firstly the evil santa, then luke and then the tag line and title. This is how i intended it to happen as the santa is arguably the main character in the movie, followed by the victim. The titles are merely there to tell you what the film is about, and is designed to entice you.
