posible taglines

To promote my film i thought about inventing a tag line which i can use in the trailer, website and on my poster when i produce it , it needs to be short a snappy so that it sticks in the minds of the audience below are some possibilities:

1. never turn back
never cross your path

2. overtime is cancelled

3. times running out !

The first tag line is probably to long to read in a film trailer but it has a good idea behind it and it relates to the opening scene. I think the second tag line is very good because it is short, flows wells and links to the title "after hours" because when people stay late they are usually doing overtime or extra work. Times running out seems a bit common or normal to use because of the number of other films that use this sort of phrase,so i will most probably use the second one.

costume

 

These are images of my character in the costume to make it feel realistic he is just wearing his regular everyday clothes as would the character in the film.

However i used the long black coat to make him look a bit more professional as he would be leaving a workplace environment.

This also adds to the dark feel of the film helping to follow the conventions of a horror film.
