Colour:
The main colour used on
this film poster is black.
The use of this colour
gives the poster a
mysterious mystical
element to it as it creates
the enigma of what is
going to happen in the
narrative of the film. As
well as this due to there
being a cluster of trees/ a
forest in the background it
follows the conventions of
a horror film a
Red:
The only bright colour
which is used on the
cover is red. Red has been
used as it is a convention
of a horror film. The
reason for this is because
red connotes danger and
horror films usually
contain elements of
danger.
Main Image:
The main image on this
(Horror) Film poster is of
an extreme close up of
someone's face. The use
of this image focuses on
the persons eyes to
display their fear. This
foreshadows the genre
and theme of the film as
horror films creates fear
and suspense.
Font:
The font used on the
text on the cover is
very basic and plain,
however it also
contains similarities
to a tree trunk which
links to the theme of
the film
White:
White has been used also
to potentially signify
hope.
Colour:
In this film poster the main colours
that are used are dark greys and
blacks. The use of these colours
combined give the poster a dated
look which conforms to the
conventions of a horror film. The
reason for this is because the
location of horror films are usually
in old abandoned houses, like the
one we can see in the back of the
film poster.
Mise en scene:
The main protagonist which is a
young boy with his eyes
scratched out is wearing a red
chequered top. The use of the
colour red which is usually
associated with danger suggest
that something bad is going to
happen in the narrative of the
film.
Editing:
In the main image a dark figure is
shown in the top window, which
suggests that the film will contain
supernatural elements as well as
danger, due to the boy not
knowing it is there and it not
being noticeable.
Text:
The text used is very
simplistic and basic. The
reason for this is so less
attention is taken away
from the main image. In
addition to this the title of
the film has been written
in a distorted way to
make it look like there has
been an editing error. This
could suggest that the
film contains futuristic
elements as well as
supernatural elements,
Main Image:
The main image behind the
main protagonist is a house.
The editing used on this house
has given it a dated look,
which could suggest that it is
set in the past. As well as this
the weather in the image is
stormy and thundery. This
could reinforce the idea that
something bad is going to
happen.
