This poster a complete cult graphic classic, and has actually been used time after time. This central image shows the force and presence of the halloween character. It has a simple black background with a centrallised billing block in white. All three posters are in portrait and I believe sticking to this convention would be good. There is few text on the poster and this makes it strong and bold and delivers a required effect. The tag line is bold and slightly like a graphic novel in font.
This poster at first resembles a sort of alien face and then you realise it is an optical illusion of three faces. You purposefully cannot see the rest of the body and this makes the character seem far more frightening. The tag line in red asks a rhetorical question to the audience, this immediately involves you. The title of the film is fairly low-key and allows most of your attention to be drawn to the image.
We have chosen a particular style to follow to create our poster and be influenced. Portrait style and black background is a very common convention. Once again the antogonist is shown mysteriously with hard and sharp shadows, the thematic colours are consistent through out. Red, blacks and whites blend well to create and ominous vibe surrounding the central image.
We aim to create something that is guided by these posters but also breaks certain conventions of them, we may go down a more graphic route like the first two as we believe the mask is a very strong image.
