Overall, the feedback I received was positive as all three participants thought that the draft posters reflected the synopsis of the film. In general, the audience preferred a crisp image on the poster but it was noted that the image of the girl in draft 3 looked too happy and was not the stereotypical image you would see within the horror film genre. It was felt that the image in draft 1 best reflected suspense rather than gore, which is a better reflection of my film. It was noted that the DVD cover was more about the possession of the girl while the posters focused more on the cat image. To achieve the best possible poster I will combine both of the images of the girl and the cat in my poster but will also aim for a crisp and dark image.

Contact Sheet
The images that have been circled are ones that are clear and I feel would represent the film well on a poster or a DVD cover. Even though the cat is physically not in most of the circled images, there is still a feeling that the cat is present. For example, at first glance when you look at the last three images, all you see is the figure crouched down leaning forward as if they are reaching out to something but when you look harder you notice that the shadow, that is cast by the figure, is in the shape of a cat. One of these three images would be perfect for my film poster because it makes the viewer think that the figure has been possessed by the cat because now their shadow is no longer theirs.

Possible Typefaces for Film Title
The font I have chosen to use for my poster and my DVD cover is 'Scorched Earth.' I have chosen this font because it is dramatic, strong and each letter is scratched. The scratches have connotations of cat scratches which relates to the cat in my story and the strength of the letters also represents the dominance that the cat has over the girl. Scratches are at the base of the font emphasise the clarity of the top of each letter. Overall, the impact on the viewer would be clarity, which would make the title memorable, and suggestive of damage which also has connotations of the instability of the situation in the film.
