Week 5 - Backgrounds for Horror / Thriller

Examples of film posters that have a black background :

One Missed Call (2008) Dead Silence (2007)

Examples of film posters that don't have a black background :

Midsommar (2019) As Above, So Below (2014)

The Visit (2015)

Final Decision :

I have decided that for my background in the main film poster, I want the background to be pitch black. In order to do this, I am going to take pictures in the dark with the flash on. This will let the audience know that the character is in a dark place mentally.
