30 Days of night Promotional Posters.
These are posters advertising the film 30 Days of Night, it shows various vampire characters and they all look quite disturbing with the bright red background and their bodies seem to be splattered and sprayed onto the background like blood. They all seem to be showing their fangs and to be in pain, usually with a promotional poster it would show the main characters. This movie is an 18.

Lesbian Vampire killers Poster
Lesbian Vampire killers is a Comedy/Horror about two unlikely heroes who save a village from a vampire curse.The poster is not a typical vampire movie poster, instead of being Red and Black, Or dark blues and white it is blue and pink, a colour scheme more typical of comedy movies.
Although The poster does contain some Typical vampire movie elements such as weapons, women and a moon.
I think the poster works very well to advertise this film.
This is a poster for Blood which is a vampire film like ours. Like the 30 Days of Night Poster Luke has analysed it also follows the trends of vampire movie posters whit it having a red and black colour scheme, a female character, shows a weapon and follows the trends of normal film poster with it having a main title, tag line, says who's in it, who made it and the films website.
Film poster
30 Days of night, is a horror film based around a small town that has been overcome by a mass of Vampires and a band of Un-lucky survivors try their best to escape the Blood thirsty newcomers.I like this poster and DVD cover because by looking at it you immediately know what the film is about.
I like the colour scheme of bright red that looks messy and splattered making it look just like blood, it is also has a dark mysterious background which show's the vampires. The characters are also wearing large clothing and it shows bits of snow telling us that the setting for this film, is going to be somewhere cold and dark.
Both characters are holding weapons and their expressions are of both worry and determination showing us it is an Horror/action film.
The font type also looks messy and quickly written this maybe because the film is mainly about time and how long they have to live.
The tag line also draws us in because we don't exactly know what they mean by 'They' making us want to go and see it to find out who it is and why they are coming, this is also written in red to stand out and not blend in with the dark setting behind.
In conclusion, i think this is an excellent poster it shows us what the setting is going to be, who the characters are (both male and female), it shows us a bit of what they may be fighting and the genre of this film with the colour schemes (Red and Black) making it an Action, Horror, Mystery film.

The Hunt (Review of a short film)
At the beginning of this short film it shows the title of the film 'The Hunt', this is shown by a cloudy background as the cloud appears it highlights the title of the film this shows the film as being a bit mysterious. Music is added to the background of this title sequence at first quiet but then it builds up to the point when 'The Hunt' is shown on screen, this music is also quite mysterious and spooky.
As the title sequence fades away a voice is heard and it is un-known to who it is, the film then cuts to a medium shot of a car driving down a baron road the voice is then presumed to be a Female radio reporters who is talking about murders and missing people in the local area, this then tells us it's going to be a Horror/Drama film.
The camera then cuts to some feet walking, the feet are of a women’s. The camera then raises of the floor and we are shown into a car where a man is sat, he wears black and his face is slightly covered by shade, he wears a hat and we presume that he doesn’t want to be identified we also presume he is a bad person because of the dark clothes he wears.
The camera then cuts to the man’s hand and he switches the radio off muting the radio reporter. The mysterious music then plays again. The camera then cuts to a medium shot of the women walking, she wears a pale blue top, she seems like a normal everyday women, the environment behind her looks dull and boring and the lighting in this shot is dark and has a blue effect on the surroundings, this shows that something bad is going to happen. As the women walks towards the camera we see in the background a car door open.
The camera then cuts to the women’s feet again walking away from the camera, it then cuts to a medium shot of her walking around a corner, the man in black appears behind her and we realize he is pursuing her, he then runs away out of the shot.
The camera then again cuts to a shot of her feet walking away from the camera. It then cuts to a medium shot of the women’s face and she stops, and looks at something. The camera then cuts to a medium shot of the women's back, she turns to her right casually, we then see the man in black stood blocking her path, he then follows her. It cuts to a long shot of a dark, bland alleyway where the women is seen running looking behind her she looks worried and frantically tries to open a door before realizing it is locked, she then runs off and turns to her right.
The camera then cuts to a medium shot of her jogging, she now doesn’t seem scared. It cuts to a medium shot of her walking towards the camera and she slows to a stop. The camera then does a 360 degree spin revealing that she has come to a dead end, and that the man in black is behind her. It then cuts to a close up shot of the man’s right hand by his side and in it he holds a bladed weapon, we see the women in the background turn to him.
The camera then slows down as he walks towards her.
It then cuts to a medium shot of the women’s face.
It then cuts to a medium shot of the man and women to show what’s going to happen, the man lunges for her with his knife but she blocks it with her arm, the camera turns slowly to the right and the fighting is slowed down, and we see the man hit the women in the face.
It then cuts to a medium shot of her hitting a wall with her back. She then bounces of the wall and the camera cuts to a medium shot of the man and the camera runs towards him (This imitates the women running) he lunges but misses. The camera then cuts to a low-medium shot of the women of the women this shows us that she is gaining the upper hand and power. We then get a close up shot of her face and we see blood around her mouth. It then cuts to a close-up shot of the man’s weapon that has blood on it, the camera then moves up to the man’s neck in a close up shot, and we see puncture holes in his neck we then get a shot of his face as he looks at the blood on his hand, and he looks shocked showing us that he didn’t expect this!.
It then cuts to a medium shot of the man stood side ways he falls to his knees and we get a medium shot of the man’s back and we see her walking towards him, this is also set at a low angle shot showing she has more power and dominance over him.
It cuts to a shoulder shot of the women and we see the man on the floor, he reaches in his pocket and produces a gun, he aims at her but doesn’t shoot. It then cuts to a low angle floor shot and the women crawls on the man, she opens her mouth and it shows us she has fangs. This is the twist in the story. She crawls towards the man’s neck as if to bite him.
We then get a close up of the man’s hand and the butt of the gun, we then see his hand twitching, and the camera moves up towards his belt and we see a badge, we then hear his screams and we see blood splatter on it. The camera fades out at the end.
Even though this short film is only 3 minutes long I think it has everything it need a beginning, middle and an end. I like the story line as we seem to think that the women is an ordinary person who is been pursued by a mystery man because the woman is dressed in ordinary clothes nothing seems suspicious about her. When we see the fight sequence we discover that she isn’t a normal everyday woman this could be seen as the twist but then we see her become a vampire and kill the man, he drops a badge and we realize that he is the good guy throughout the film and she indeed is being hunted for killing people, I like the camera angles and the contrast of colours as it keeps us on the edge of our seat and it makes the film more interesting and mysterious.
