I did three different mock ups when I was creating my horror movie poster, experimenting with slightly different features which I eventually ruled out. My final poster is on the far right and I felt like out of the three it worked the most effectively, conventionally the title of a poster is located at the very bottom of the page so that it doesn't distract the viewer from the centre image. The first two mock ups that I did, didn't follow this convention so I don't feel like they fit the genre as much as my final poster result. I also experimented with the texture of the background, using a grunge pattern behind the text of the title in the second poster. I decided not to keep this in my final poster as I felt it distracted the viewer, and meant that the title wasn't as bold as it was with a plain black background. Simplicity also seems to be the key with a lot of modern day horror posters, if there were too many images on the poster then it may look too cluttered and unprofessional.
