As well as researching on the different fonts we could use for the title of The Examined. John also researched and went on to even design a initial teaser of the movie poster of 'The Examined'. As you can see here we have tried to represent the themes of our movie through the poster. This has been done by using a exam desk to represent our target audience of young people who are still in education and is also relevant to the actual movie as much of it bases around a actual exam. Also the typography of the title suggests something about the genre as it looks to have been carved into the desk which represents not only vandalism which is something common among youths but also highlights the 'slasher' aspect of slasher horror. This is further emphasized by the use of red color which resembles blood dripping off the title which connotes death and pain, thus suggesting the nature of our film. The image of a knife stabbed into a heart further conveys this feeling of pain and death and also gore, themes usually associated with the horror genre.
To further highlight the effectiveness of this movie poster what I have done is, similarly to the work and research I done on movie posters, create a Prezi to highlight what it is exactly that this poster does which makes it effective and also represents the genre through its use of typography and iconography.
