For my planning I created a mood board of existing horror film poster titles. This allowed me to see the similarities and also allowed me to identify the conventions. This was useful as it gave me an idea of what my film title on my poster should look like. By analysing these I can see the most predominant colours used are red and white. This is because they are both very starong, bold, eye catching colours. Also, the colour red has very strong connotations with the horror theme, e.g. blood, death and anger. In addition they appear to use block, distorted, jagged lettering, this is because this gives the impression that something horrific has happened to it.
I then found the following five fonts which i thought were suitable and followed the conventions to use on my poster for my film title from www.dafont.com.
However after trying them all on my poster i found the following one looked the most appropriate and proffesional.
