Initial Inspiration for my Genre and Film Poster

The sepia colouring and the font instantly shows that this is a horror film and indicates this to the target audience.

I specifically like the simplistic but terrifying effect this image gives. Eye contact connects with the audience drawing them into the film. 

I like how the image is a shot taken directly from the film. This already introduces the audience to the film and draws them in.

The predominately black background sets the dark mood and tone to the film before the target audience go and see the film.

I like how the main image is a cartoon drawing which is something that is not usually seen for a horror film or any genre that is not animation.

Nicole Kidman's fearful expression will influence the way the target audience feel when they look at this film poster.

I like the simplistic effect of the film poster but still manages to give a creepy and chilling effect. I also like how it subverts the usual black background for a horror film which makes this unique.

This image reflects the film title. It is extremely creepy and would attract audiences who love horror films as the genre is very clear from the film poster. 

Films with a hybrid genre of Horror, Mystery and Thriller.
These films do not include strong gore and usually include ghosts and spirits.

The posters for these films usually consist of one main, striking image which immediately displays the genre to the target audience and gives off a chilling effect.
In particular I like The Grudge and The Others film poster and will use these as inspiration for when I create my own film poster for my teaser trailer.
