Poster ideas

During our media lessons we have been discussing possible poster ideas for our teaser trailer. There are a number of possibilities that we could do for a werewolf poster:
1) Having the image of the werewolf, or different parts - more specifically are group were thinking of the physicality of the werewolf to portray in our poster
2)  We discussed the use of symbols that look or show the meaning of werewolf - we have done research on some symbols and we came across a swastika style symbol, but on further research we found one and it was taken away for a poster idea.
Here is the poster idea:

This is extremely early ideas, but none the less it is an idea. 
As group we will the advtanges and siadvantages of the poster, however we have asked fellow colleagues if is was effective. It seems that if people know what 'LYCAN' means - then the message is clear, however to people that haven't heard of the word 'LYCAN' then it isntt as effective.

They also said that they can see the image of werewolf in the symbol - however the majority of the poster lacks information, (perhaps a tag line?) to hit home its a werewolf film. I have updated the poster and this is now how it looks

It definatly needs some discussion and get the pros and cons from it. for sombut it is something we can build on, this seems to be a good point to start from.


The lining of white around one side of the symbol is supposed to represent moonlight, but also in a more poster sense adds more depth to the picture.
I have also added the tag line "When your alone, The Hunt Begins" - again this is subject to change but a tag line was needed to make this poster more interesting so I thought of one quickly.
the date again is subject to change, however on creating a date it should be the night when there is a full moon. which is in 2 days, and that is why the date is in 2 days.
