This idea is just to show the layout of the poster without detail into the specifics. I chose to have the title where is it as I feel that in conjunction with the image it frames the woman well, and gives an indication as to the nature of the film, and her significance within it. It will be in a large and looming font, which corresponds to the looming nature of the shadow of the knife over her already. These two elements of the poster will merge to form the effect of connotating the many shadows and evils that loom over her, and eventually take her life. The significance of the title also being over the girl, and in turn the image is that it is ironic; the title 'Sleep Well', over the image of the knife being held above her head is almost ironically funny as of course she isn't going to sleep well, she's being murdered, showing the sinister nature of the film's storyline. That said, it is not intended that the poster is funny, but the impact of the title over the image does have an ironic and powerful effect.
The reasoning behind the reviews and star ratings along the left handside is that their placement here links them closely to the title which will rest above them. Thus, the reviews will be clearly associated with the film. The location of the actors names and dicrector's names are key to the presentation of the poster and so their location is vital also. In this design their layout as opposite the reviews, seperated by the image is effective in showing the film's information whils at the same time highlighting this key scene in the film.
