First Draft Main Poster



  • Looks professional and conventional
  • Writing is the right size and positioned correctly
  • Good title, shows what genre it belongs to. 
  • Good use of dark colours, the colour of the background looks mysterious and gives a sense of fear. The anatagonist looks strong which is conventional.
  • Good use of colour scheme, however, the antagonist need to stand out more. Maybe add a bright colour between the antagonist and the background, so it gives contrast.
  • Written information missing, more information needs to be included, such as, the name of producers and logo of production companies. 
  • Include release date
  • Star ratings look comical; need to be improved
