Movie Posters / DVD cover ideas

I had a look at different movie posters/covers so that our group could find some inspiration for our own.
In this post I will show some different posters and covers from various horror movies that I felt conveyed the "horror" theme.

Oldschool Dracula cover.

Red writing which symbolises blood.

Saw movie poster. As time progressed in film, more gritty posters / covers have been allowed.
Blood is used in this and shows contrast between the rest of the clean image.

The exorcist movie cover. Use of sillhouetting to create uneasiness / darkness / suspense.

Triangle DVD cover. Ratings used to promote movie. Use of bold fonts exadurating words to entice viewer. Scared facial expression & contrast between blood & no blood.

The red font seems to be a re-occurring feature in horror movie titles..

These are but some of the examples we looked at. In our group discussions we viewed various others. We began shooting our main character so we could create a promotional material such as DVD covers & posters. Once we finish the pictures we will create mock-up versions and then advance on them later on.
