More Than Human - Magazine front cover

I feel as if the magazine front cover was much harder to produce in comparison to the film poster, the main reason for this that much more information and extras are required in a magazine front cover. A generic poster has one specific purpose focusing on one movie whereas Magazine front covers tend to include other movies within its front cover although it tends to give one specific movie hype.

More Than Human Trailer

Here is the official finished trailer of More Than Human. We have released it after the deadline but this was due to understanding the importance of the trailer this year and thus spent most of our time on it. It was very much a team effort of James, and I. As I predicted, the editing process was the longest but thankfully, as we planned ahead, and knew what we both needed to do in order to finalise the trailer.

More than Human - Poster


Here is the finished product of my found footage horror movie poster.  This poster was created on Photoshop, and was a bit of a challenge for James and me because we have never used Photoshop before, so this was a fun piece of work to create and it was very enjoyable as well as stressful.

I have kept to the old conventions of horror movies by using the colours, Red, Black and White as I felt like they were the most effective colours and that they are more eye catching that the recent trends of horror movie posters, as it gives it a more older look as the reds, blacks and white colours were used in the 80's for a more scarier feel on the audience. As the colour black represents darkness (as many people are afraid of the dark) and represents fear and it also contrasts with the Red writing used as Red is used to conform blood and it stands out on the black background.

The heading "If on thoughts of deaths we are fed. Thus, a coffin became my bed" is a slogan used to make the film look more frightening and appeal more to the audience as it is used in capitals and in larger writing to try and capture the eye of the audience.

The Title "More Than Human" is used in large, capital writing and in the colours of Red and White. The use of the Red writing here is to stand out against the black background and the white writing, with the word "Than" in a larger font compared to the other words and makes the whole title stand out in the poster and draws the viewer into the poster and making them examine it too.

The faded black and white grave is used to stand out too in the poster, with the writing on the grave being in bold to eye catch the audience. The grave is also used to conform death, supernatural and paranormal activity, linking it with ghosts, zombies etc.
