Film Poster Feedback - Emily

I handed out photos of each of our film posters, and asked people opinions on them:

The top poster was this one:
This was the bottom poster:


Which film poster is your favourite? Top or bottom?
Person 1: Top.
Person 2: Top.
Person 3: Top.
Person 4: Top.
Person 5: Layout of bottom but picture and quotes from the top.
Person 6: Top.

What do you like about it?
Person 1: Faint ouija board.
Person 2: Colours, overlayed images, the title looks better on two lines instead of three.
Person 3: I like the ouija board in the background because it relates to the trailer well.
Person 4: Overlay of ouija board on top of girl image.
Person 5: Love the halve colour text linked with background of image.
Person 6: More threat, less like a DVD cover.

Do you think the posters portray the horror genre well? Which one does is it better?
Person 1: Yes, font & imagery, good top one!
Person 2: Top because of the colours and the girl looks scarier.
Person 3: They both portray horror well with the colour and images.
Person 4: Top, because picture is scarier and colour scheme.
Person 5: The bottom one, dark colours make it eerie.
Person 6: Yes.

Do you like the text used?
Person 1: Yes, like how they overlap.
Person 2: Yes.
Person 3: Yes, very fitting for the genre.
Person 4: Yes.
Person 5: Yes.
Person 6: Yes.

If you saw these posters, would you want to go see the film? Which one is more effective?
Person 1: Top one more effective. I would!
Person 2: Top. It looks more like a film poster.
Person 3: I would see the top one because it tells you more about what you are going to be watching with the ouija board.
Person 4: Top one, yes.
Person 5: Top one, yes. Because bottom one doesn't tell you anything.
Person 6: Could the top one work with a big close up?
