This is the image I will be using for my Horror poster the same one I used for my film magazine Silver screen. I decided on using the image after consulting one of my teachers about images to use and they believed that I should use the same image as it effectively describes the film and what I am trying to advertise which is how the film was scare and excite you.
The mise en scene of the characters matches my target audience of 15-24 year olds as for example one of my lead characters dave imaged above in the middle is wearing a popular brand iconic of youth and style which other teenagers wear which is superdry which I hope will create a connection between the audience and the individual characters and the personalities they are playing. What the two female actresses are wearing is also representative of the typical female girl in my target audience which I hope will give the connection implied with what my male actors are wearing, as i believe when watching a film it is vital that my audience believe what they are watching is realistic and this is closely linked to the mise en scene of the characters this is because if my cast are wearing high end/ low end clothing brands this may alienate a particular sub group from watching my film so I need to appeal to everyone.
Why film next to a tree?
The tree is one of the iconic mise en scne of the trailer as Curt is shown laying next to the tree to represent death a main convention of Horror, so when people look at the poster they will link it to the trailer which all links into death which like stated is a convention.
