This poster features an image of a crying little girl in silhouette being watched by another silhouette at an old house. The title "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" is featured in an edgy font above the tagline "I can" in a simpler font, hinting at danger but leaving the audience wondering what will happen. The dark colors and ominous imagery draw the viewer in while hinting at a horror involving a game of "tag" set in an old house location common to the genre.

2. House Of Wax
The main image that has been used is a picture of a
naked women with wax dripping off her. This would
appeal to teenage boys more because it is a naked
women and the two of the five actors/actresses that
are starring in the film are Elisha Cuthbert and Paris
Hilton. Theses two actresses will appeal more to the
teenage boys to go ad what it because they would
see them as two beautiful women.
Looking at the image that has been used, to make
people aware of that the film is about is that the
eyes have been darkened to make it look a horror
film and also the women that has been used looks a
human and has melting wax over her body. This
makes it look like a horror because it is like she is
being waxed alive and that it is a sign of murder the
way the women is laid like she had fallen to the
ground unexpectedly.
The overall colour for the poster are dark colours to
show the audience that it is doing to be dark scenes.
Which you associate dark colours with the dark side
such ad hell and death.
The title has been in normal but bold text. This is a
quite simple text but the colour that has been used
is a colour you see when you have lit a candle and it
has hardened up.
The use of the tagline is a rhyming to make it seem
that the film has a bit of comedy on as well as it
being a horror. The way they have used the words
and put a fill stop after each one makes it more
punchy and more effective because the audience
will see it and will wonder what is going on and will
want to find out.

3. The first thing which my eyes draw to is the image in the centre of
the poster. The big 4 looked like a key hole where the 4 has been
cut out of the black background and a women is looking through.
Also with the film called ‘scream’ it looked like the women has
screamed which has made the 4 look uneven. The way the 4 has
been smudged makes it look more effective and scary. This image
idea has been a theme with all scream films. (scream 3)
The uses of colours all contracted each other. The colour red makes
it look like there is a death or violence scene because people
associate the colour red with death, blood, danger etc. On the
image, the way the eye is dominate with the colour blue, this eye
makes it look a little evil because it is staring out into the audience
and it is wanting to get peoples attention.
The text that has been used for the title is bold and white, this is
good because you can then see what the name of the film is called,
but the style of font that has been uses relates to the image as the
‘M’ as been made to look like a dagger. And the ‘A’ has been
replace by the 4 to make it look different from just having the title
scream 4.
The tag line that has been used is coming across that a new life new
start. The meaning of new decade new rules could imply that
something bad is going to happen because of a new beginning?
Scream 3

4. The background image that has been used is ghosts coming out of the lake
once they have been killed. This image of the people coming out of the lake
shows that something has happened. The dark colours suggest that they are
coming out of the water because it is a dark blue. Dark blue is associated
with the cold and ice. Another reason that the colour could be dark is
because that it could be a dark film and there has been turn of events. The
lighter blue towards the sky and the mood shows the audience that they
come to light with the bit of light?
The title Ghost lake is in a bold style so that people can see what it is called,
but also the colour that has been used is not quite a white it is a off coloured
white so it looks icy. This could be link with the darker colours because the
two colours both could mean the same thing .
The tag line that has been used is to suggest that it is a dark film because it
says ‘evil rises’ so this could draw the audience in because they would want
to now what is going to happen when the evil rises. On the other hand this
could lead to why the people are coming out of the lake as the fact that have
been evil or evil has forced them into the lake.

5. Hide and Seek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9uEkTPchIo
The trailer, for hide and seek is good because it used some of the clips from the
film but make it all make sense. If you hadn't seen the film you would
understand what is going on before you watch the film. They start the trailer
off in a big city where most people can relate to and can imaging what a city
looks like and the surroundings is like. The main image you get when you watch
the trailer is the father and daughter relationship and people can see what
goes on because of deaths to a parent and what can go on in there
relationship, by watching the trailer there looks like tension becomes between
the father and daughter. With the father and daughter moving house they
move to a traditional setting in a horror movie and old house in the country.
The use of dark colours in the trailer means there is going to be dark scenes,
the audience would relate that dark colours are related to death and the dark
side. So could this mean someone has a dark side as well as a good side like a
split personality?
Having the names of the main actors/actresses Robert Daniro and Dakota
Fanning in the trailer shows the audience who is starting in the film and also
shows who are the main characters in the film, this will make the audience
more interested in the film if they know who is in the film. If they don’t know
who they are then by looking at the trailer or even just looking at the front
cove it will make you interested in the film.

6. Summary of Research
Looking at all the horror film posters they all have in common they all pretty much have the same colour themes.
They all mainly uses dark colours or simple pictures to make it look more scary and spooky. But most of the colours
that have been used are used throughout the film. Using dark colours shows what kind of genre it is so when people
see it they will automatically see that it is a dark film and a horror.
On every from cover of a film poster they use an image which shows what main theme to the film or the main charter
in the movie. This will because to show the audience who is staring in the film and it might make them want to watch
the film just because they are the main role. Also, the image that is being used on the front cover also shows a scene
from the film and it might draw the audience in to come and watch this film because of the interesting image and
they might want to watch it to see what happens.
Another feature most posters use is the styles of fonts, most of the have a similar theme in the styles they use. Some
are quite simple but having simple title fonts will make it easier for people to read it and then they can focus on the
image more. Most of the title of horror are placed at the bottom of the poster so that there is more room for the
image and also that all the text it together in one place. Sometimes it looks better like that so then your not looking
for the text all over the poster.
When I do my poster I will include all the elements that a professional post uses and try make it as profession as I can.
I will use the same colour theme as most horror films, dark colours. When I do my title I will use a different font to
what most horror films use but it will still be simple and easy to read. I will make the poster look interesting and make
sure it draws the audience in. I will also use the same layout as most horror films to make it the same in someway but
my own in others.

9. Fonts
Catch Me If You Can – double feature The reason I have chosen these fonts because they all show
that there is blood in the film, having these fonts also show
the audience that it is a horror and something is going to
Catch me if you can - bloody happen so it will make them watch it so then they can see
what will happen. All the fonts that I have chosen look quite
similar but they all link into the theme.
Catch me if you can – Gypsy Curse
The font that I will used will either be the second one or the
forth one because they are different from each other and
Catch me if you can – SF Gushing they would appeal more with my film. They both look scary
Meadow and edgy so the audience will get a feel of what the film
could be about just by looking at them two fonts. Another
reason why they are my favourite is because it will give you
Catch me if you can – Horror Sketch the shivers or a cold feeling when you see the final film
poster they will all link together.
Colour scheme
I have chosen these images because most horror films have the same
colour theme and go with the same colours. Black and red are the most
common colours that are used in a horror film poster. This will be
because red and black are associated with death, danger and blood.
The reason I have picked orange and white is because the film ‘Hide
and Seek’ that I researched used them colours which is different from
other horror film posters. This inspired me to choose these colours
because they are different but also because orange can be a sign of
danger as orange is associated with fire.

11. Reason why?
The reason I have chosen this design because it shows the main location in the movie and because it looks good
because it shows the litter girl crying and a silhouette of someone watching her. I think this will draw the audience in
because it looks interesting and because of the text I have chosen it makes it more edgy and people will wonder what
will happen. Just having the images doesn’t really give away what is going to happen but the style of texts opens up
different doors of what can happen.
Seeing the title and the tagline they link together, you associate them words with the game of ‘tag’ so people might get
an image of that in there heads but having the tagline will leave the audience wondering what is going to happen. With
having an image of an old house as well will make more exciting in the film and people can picture what old houses can
be like and most horror film have an old house in and they can cause different things.
