Imagery
I would like to keep my film poster fairly minimalistic so it will keep the viewers guessing about what the film is about. Therefore I am going to choose a single item that will represent an aspect of the plot. For example I have in mind using something that symbolises the use of a babies cry such as an old teddy, rattle, dummy, doll or mobile. I also thought of using a tape recorder or weapon with blood on to represent details of the murder.
I may use two of these ideas to give more of an insight into the film whilst maintaining suspense and curiosity for the reader e.g. bloodstained doll; teddy sat on a tape recorder.
Film Title
I haven't yet thought of a title for the film but looking at other films it seems that single-worded titles are very common and appear to work well as they reveal very little about the film itself, adding to the suspense. I am thinking of relating it again in some way to theme of babies, perhaps a play on words surrounding a nursery rhyme or well-known phrase.
Colour Scheme
I would like to keep to a very simple colour scheme so as not to prove off-putting for a viewer. Alfred Hitchcock generally kept to black, white and red which was very effective for horror films as black represents dark or fear and red can represent blood or anger.
