Film review

For my film review, I decided to do one that would feature on 'Empire' magazine's website. I chose this publication as, upon researching, I found that they featured films of varying success - from highly mainstream pictures to independent productions. I also felt that because 'Empire' is primarily aimed at film buffs, this would be a good place for my film to be publicised to a wider audience.

Film Poster

For my poster, I took inspiration from the theatrical poster for 'Submarine'.

I really liked its quirky nature and the use of colour. I liked the idea of the block of colour hiding certain aspects of the characters face, and this is something I adopted for my poster. I used the colour red to symbolise blood and danger - two horror conventions that feature in my short film. By using the red colour scheme, I allow the audience some hints as to the genre and content of my film without giving too much away. The cryptic nature of the 'Submarine' poster provided me with the inspiration to do this.
