Ideas on horror trailer poster

On designing my Horror trailer I have decided to analyse some similar genre posters to give me tips on what I can do to create my poster. This is the list of ideas I would like to incorporate into my piece;

. Dark colours: In every Horror poster I analysed the colour choice by the designer was dark colours such as black and red with no colours resembling light or happiness showing a connotation of Horror poster.

. Little writing: Most of the posters had next to no writing on apart from the masthead and a few sub headings and advertisements this shows that not all posters need mass amounts of writing on them to get the message of the film across something I will consider in creating my poster.

. Focus on image: The main focus on the posters was the image creating a link to the amount of writing used, By the looks of things the image is central in attracting people to watch to film as what they see will influence them to the standard of the film.

. Font: The font is quite similar throughout with medieval font been the most popular used this could be because medieval font is closely linked to horror and danger something which horror trailers want to attract to their movie.
