Poster Design Brief

We need a poster for a feature thriller film (titled "Jonah"). The film is still in the pitch process so we don't have stills from the actual film. However, we do have stills from the short pitch film.

The film is a teen adventure thriller. In the vein of Stranger Things.

Logline - A group of high school kids discover and document a paranormal entity in one of their homes, but what starts as a fun school project quickly turns into something more sinister and evil.

This absolutely CAN NOT look like a B-Horror film from the poster. I have included some poster samples that I like (All labeled "Sample"). Any posters submitted that are just recreations of the samples I have given will be ignored. This must be a completely original concept. I like minimalist approach but with great style... and filters are great!

You must understand that it is a teen film... a creepy film... but not exactly horror. Youtube plays a huge part in the film. The cutting style is that of a youtube vlogger. Yes, there is a paranormal element to the film, but it takes a backseat to the adventure the the teen friends go on, and the love story that is involved.

They are searching to find if a man named Jonah really existed as the spirit that claimed to be murdered in one of the teen's house.

I have included some stills from the short... and some stills that invoke the tone that we are going for.

Also font (and style) of the title will be very important. This is what will go on all of our materials. It should be awesome, and give as much info about the style of the film as possible, without being cheesy or feel B-Horror AT ALL (cant stress that enough).

I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

Good luck.

Requirements
Must have
  • Some kind of YouTuber or Vlogger element. This should be very subtle though. Imagine if your image had 4 teens silhouettes and one of them was holding a DSLR in one hand. Not saying that this is what I want, but that this is a simple way to add in the element in a very subtle way.
Nice to have
  • A paranormal Element. A old house in the woods element. 4 teens (2 boys and 2 girls) however, if you use images of people off the internet, they should not be able to be seen clearly. Possession element.
  • Any of these elements might work... or combinations. To add in all together might be the cluster f*** that I don't want.
Should not have
  • B-Horror Movie Feel.
  • The images from Paranormal Activity featured prominently in the poster. (they were more for examples of tone). Those photos are of the blurry woman standing... and of the young girl looking at the camera with the boy standing behind her.
