FINAL DRAFT FILM POSTER

• The darkness in the face, on the dress and in the background of the picture was achieved by using effects on Paintshop Pro. I blurred the image to start with and then used a darkening tool.
• Iconic image of the noose around the girls neck, also links to the title.
• Image doesn't give anything away about the plot, will leave the audience with many questions, e.g who is the girl on the front? 
• Tag line 'short drop, sudden stop'. A line used to describe someone's death in the gallows, back when death by hanging was legal. Relates to title of the film and is quite a chilling sentence to read.
• The girl appears to be looking straight at the reader - draws them in and makes it seem personal.
