Lights! Camera! Action! - making film posters

For this task I decided to create a film poster from the 'gothic' genre. I looked at many different film posters that had been used in the past, in the 20th century. Here are 3 examples of which influenced the design of my poster:

I wanted to create a sort of possessed but yet haunted scene within my poster, which I thought would be a great effect. I did initially want to add faded sort of candles or dripping candle wax down the side of the bridge but when I actually attempted this in photoshop it looked quite unrealistic, so I decided to stick to the simple, yet spooky design of my original poster.
