Now it’s time for me to add my title as well as the names of stars, tagline and qualifications from expert witnesses, which will be used to sell my film.
For my title I chose “The Monk”. I thought a simple title would be best because the best horror films e.g. The Exorcist, The Thing, The Omen etc. all have simple titles.
After merging all my levels and exporting the image as a jpg I opened my poster in Draw Plus.
I used a blood red colour for the titles and star names to imply the gratification of blood and gore to my target audience. I originally used Amhurst SF for my title and star names because it looked medieval which has associations with monks. However, after a while I decided that it wasn’t serious enough to suit the tone of my film so I switched to Copperplate gothic instead. I added an inner shadow to the text to suggest that the shadow of the monk was falling on the text to give the monk a sense of menace.
my tagline, "What's your confession", gives a hint of the narrative, implying that the Monk kills people who come to confess their sins. By using a rhetorical question it makes the audience think that they might be next.
I also added a quote from Empire magazine as an expert witness to sell the film but noticed that the text was lost in the picture of the candles. I added an outer glow in black to help it stand out and here is the finished result!
