P O S T E R F E E D B A C K

I have recently gotten feedback for my poster following its moderation and, although positive feedback, I will now have to implement the recommended changes in order to improve it further.

'It follows the conventions and is stylish and well designed' however the recommendations are:

• at first glance, it is too jolly: until you look closely, the poster is not clearly an advert for a horror film. Even an art-house film would need to follow some generic conventions to draw in passersby.
  
  
  • To remedy this, we suggest that you play with a darker colour palette. You might find that using a grey or black background, rather than a white one, is all you need to make it clear what genre you are working in.
    
    
• Include your strap line (present on the website) on your poster.
• ‘Coming soon’ at the top in the centre would balance out the poster and be in keeping with poster conventions.'
