Film poster deconstructions

I really like the image used in this poster. The image is striking and the way it’s laid out makes it stand out for example the young girl is in the bottom corner and is not the main focal point of this image.

Where the girl is actually placed in the image makes the film title stand out more and attracts the audience eye straight to it.

The producer has mentioned other films that they have created as a ploy to remind the audience how good their previous films were and to suggest that this one will be just as good, persuading them to watch it.

Here is the date in a bolder font than the rest of the information. This it to make it the first thing the audience sees so that they’ll remember when it’s on.

The image here is of the ‘ghoul’ that’s in the film. Exposing this character is used to give the audience an insight into how scary it is.

This image also stands out. It has the effect of a television that’s gone fuzzy which is also a teaser into the storyline.

Both of these posters have plug lines which are created to frighten the audience and the intention is that in your head you’ll read it in a scary way.

The colour palette on this poster is very blue in tones. The blue, white and black contrast and make it very eerie and feel very cold. The blur and how it’s not focused are also particular elements that stand out and make it appear very uneasy.

The colour in this poster is very dark. Using very deep tones, even the red of the blood not being vibrant and dull connotates that it’s going to be a dark film.

This poster looks as though it would be aimed at a vast audience. Based on the poster it looks like quite a gory and violent film so I don’t think it would appeal to a young audience, maybe multi sex genders age 18 and over.
