This is our poster in answer to question 5. Even in this day and age, using posters is still a key feature in advertising film. We got inspiration for this from posters such as this one:
As you can see we took the idea of putting images from the film into text of the title. The images in our title are not as clear as The Ring's, but we could argue that this adds to the dream like feel of the unknown that our film, or at least the opening, has. The darkness that we used in our poster informs the audience of the genre of the film. Our poster also establishes characters and themes; blood and woods, which are both typical conventions of the films genre thriller/horror. The wood path attracts the audience as they see that there's more to find out. We liked the idea of a quote, producers use these to make it look approved by someone else, and the more respected the source, the better. This is why we used The Guardian.
We chose to use a type of slogan to let the audience know something more about the film and it's plot like The Grudge's poster above. Without the line 'It never forgets. It never forgives.' the audience would know very little about what the film entails and would be less likely to want to watch it. The line 'When two paths meet...' suggests that something bad, a murder by the looks of the blood in the title, happens.
