Comparing inspirational poster to final product

Although I was inspired by the Dark Circles poster, I ensured that my own poster had a distinct style which I emphasized by using a different colour scheme as well as camera shot. This is evident as the Dark Circles poster used a dutch tilt shot of an eye with a colour scheme of black and grey which is seen to be a typical convention of psychological thrillers. Whereas, my film poster contained an extreme close up of a female eye which is identified through the long eyelashes as well as an eyeline match. Perhaps, creating a sense of identity and therefore toying with the emotions of the audience, emphasizing my creative decision making. Also, unlike the Dark Circles poster, my film poster had a colour scheme of red and black which made it quite similar to a bloodshot, perhaps connoting death and violence.

Moreover, unlike the Dark Circles which had a super imposed image of a haunted house within the eye, my film poster had a school within the eye. This therefore highlighted my creativity due to the fact that haunted houses are seen to be more of a repertoire of element of psychological thrillers compared to schools, making my poster quite unusual and different.
