Looking att hese posters has made medecide on what i chose to create i had learnt the typical horror conventions just by looking at these different child horror posters. all of them show the child in some way either with a vicious facial expression or just without one. they either have a back ground of which plays some significance in the film or its a plain background to ficus on the child. or in the univited poster we do not see the person bt somene looking in to the house which i chose to do but the other way around.

I chose to focus on the little girl but add in a background for my poster to establish the location of the movie. i didnt want to use a facial expression in the chid as like in the 'orphan' i believe it gave more effect as it shows she is heartless and has no remorse for what she does, i chose like in 'the ring' to go for a girl who was from the past wearing the old night gown but use the orphans facial expression so no one wuld know why she is back as she does not look beaten or look like she is back for remorse but that is what would surprise you i the actualy film.
