Audience Feedback of Film Poster

I showed a group of people their opinions on my poster, and if they feel it is conventional and looks like a Horror poster.

The positive feed back which I recieved:
-'The "ripping" face is very nice and done well, it gives a good feel of what the movie will be about'
- 'The text layout is very good, gives the focal point a border'
- 'I think it works well as it fits in with the traditional horror poster because it is dark and has one main focal point'
- 'Its good, effective and makes me want to know what the film is about.'
-'Graphics are effective'
- 'Good layout, good use of colour to create an effective eye catching poster/ picture, gets the message over'


Constructive critism:
- 'an A-list celebrity attracts more attention'
- 'drop the title of the film down slightly so that it doesn't detract from the main poster picture. '
- 'The picture needs more depth and higher contrast, you could add some mist in the background which some movies tend to do to add an eerie atmosphere'

I have found this feedback very helpful as i now see what to do to make it more effective and to produce a better poster.
