Poster Analysis

The title is in red which has connotations of blood, passion and evil. The coloring makes the title stand out against the dark setting without moving the focus from the main picture because it is tidily sized and in a basic font. The edges of the writing blur into the picture which gives a sense that the writing is glowing or it is written in blood which is now dripping down. This once again establishes the genre to the target audience by inferring that violence and harm will be inflicted upon the victims. One of the main focus points of this poster is the female’s expression. The image of her face takes up about two thirds of the whole poster which highlights the importance and presence of fear that will surround events in the film. The expression conveys terror and fear. The poster has a worn and damaged look to it. This reflects the possible struggle that the character in the poster has experienced.
