The connotation of the colours in the poster the dark dull and that misty look suggest its evil its dark and scary the moon in the background makes me think of ware wolfs and the devious look in his eyes looks like he knows something perhaps a secret or he's in love.

The red coming of the girl represents bloodShe's dark maybe because she is badMaybe the background dark because its not a nice place I think maybe she could be a killer of some sort but the red looks like blood but it also looks like petals something girly

The poster for the film Aladdin uses bright colours the colour at the bottom purple yellow and orange could suggest the sun set which can link in with the two who are sat on the magic carpet they look like they are together maybe in love flying on a magic carpet together also has a genie lamp at the bottom which could suggest there could be a genie involved.It also looks like a horror because behind the two “lovers” there is some kind of animal with its big mouth open as if it wants to eat them but if you look beyond that there is a guy with a sword with his arms folded looking angry also beyond that It also looks like there is a little bit of comedy in it because of the happy guy who looks energetic.There is also animals with there mouths open which suggests that they can talk so to sum this up I would say it was a scary magical horror because there is obviously magic involved because of the genie lamp and the cloudy type smoke around the whole image of the characters
