Poster

Initial images that I will be using for my poster:

Progress:

 The images above show early progress in creating my poster. I decided to give famous Disney Pixar movie, Toy Story, a horror story twist. Firstly, I darkened the bright blue cloud backdrop to make it more fitting with the genre, then I found to suitable images of Woody and Jessie where they looked afraid and added the Toy Story logo with a drop shadow to make it stand out. I decided to add a shadow of a hand to the background to hint at what they might be looking at. It still looked too plain so I added the Disney Pixar logo, a lightning bolt to the Toy Story logo and a banner saying 'coming soon'.

I didn't think that this banner was exciting enough though so I decided to add a slogan to go with the film, which played on the classic 'Alien' tagline. I changed it to 'when you're a toy, no one can hear you scream' and thought this was much more suitable and exciting than merely 'coming soon'. Having thought of this as my finished piece, I still felt there was something missing therefore I decided that it needed a horror film title to accompany 'Toy Story'. I found a suitable font generating site which replicated a toy story font and chose 'Andy's Uprising' as my title however and added a drop shadow to make it stand off the page with the Toy Story logo. However, after receiving feedback, this didn't seem to sound 'scary' enough so I went back to my initial title ideas and brainstormed for a new movie title which ended up being 'Toys of Terror' which using alliteration, is catchy and memorable.
