I always loved the simplicity of the Saw posters. They are so ambiguous that you can easily understand how good the marketing campaign was. They are a prime example of good marketing. I have always said that the best way to market a film or book is to make the cover of the DvD, posters, book cover, where-ever the image is, it has to be ambiguous. By this, I mean that the image has to be interesting enough to grab a viewers attention, but keep them guessing about what the movie is about. The image can't give away the entire movie, it only has to attract attention.
I believe this prime example to be one of the best. It's so simple yet so effective. It definitely catches my eye, and must have caught many others as the movie was extremely profitable and high grossing. I love the placing of just a single object, one caption and the title. It's all that is needed, which is what I expect to do with my poster. I decided to go with the third design as it was so much different to the magazine cover. It also looked like the best option I had. The idea reminded me of the "Saw" movie posters and how they looked, which I thought were some really poignant and intriguing posters. I will most likely look to them for inspiration.
When thinking about night vision perspectives, I contemplated buying an actual security cameras, so I went on amazon.co.uk to search the price-range.
I actually discovered you can buy really cheap fake cameras, so I wondered if it may be in my best interest to get one. Any thoughts? This is almost certainly a place holder for later. For now, the design is a simple silhouette I created on Serif Draw-Plus. It represents a man wondering in the dark with a torch. The man is purple as a nod to "Five Nights at Freddy's" villain "The Purple Guy" as he is also supposedly a security guard.
The name I came up with is "Security Breach."
It was inspired by the "SCP Containment Breach" which is another popular horror game in which you traverse dark corridors. What can I say? I liked the sound of it. It sounds like an urgent situation and fits the film well. It's ambiguous but telling all at once, as a film title should be; Giving enough information to intrigue you whilst giving you very little so you pay money to find out what happens. In my point of view, the best film names are short, usually one or two words long. Something snappy but as I said, it has to captivate the audience; giving enough of a summary that the audience feels they understand what to expect. I also checked online, but could find no other movie with the same title, hopefully meaning I don't have any problems with copyright. Even so, I am unsure as to use this title, so please comment if you like it or if you have any better suggestions. |
