When it came to making a poster for our thriller video, I used the initial title idea of, "You're Next", and created a poster based around that name. When we went to our main location, we thought it would be effective to write the title in the sand. It would remind the audience of our thriller's unique location and call attention to the original title. However, when it came to creating the poster I used the photo, but I had to be careful not to stretch it. If I did, the audience would not have been able to read the text and it would have looked fundamental. Furthermore, I had to write the reviews that our thriller supposedly got and add the credits at the bottom. The colour of the sand disabled me to do this because I couldn't find the right font and colour that made the text visible to see clearly.
After this, I discussed other possible titles for our thriller and proposed that we call it "Silent Waters". The rest of the group were sceptical at first because the original is linked significantly to our thriller opening. However, after researching the codes and conventions again we concluded that a short, mysterious name was popular with awaiting audiences. For the poster, I decided to use a dark image of water as the background, and then use a simple, white font for the text. Initially, I wanted to use a red colour font for the text but it did not accompany the image and did not give me the effect I desired.
For me, the main inspiration for this poster was the poster for the 1991 thriller film, 'Cape Fear'.

I liked the distinct background image of water because it gave the connotations of being mysterious and unknown. I also liked that the title was designed to be in the middle of the poster with a simple, white font. Due to this, I was drawn directly to the title and then looked at the images alongside it. I noticed that the director was put first, followed by the well-known actors. This was the inspiration for my poster because it was effective at letting me form my own opinions of the film, and I could clearly tell that the antagonist was the one almost absorbed in the water, staring directly at the viewer.
