poster analysis and research
Using a picture of a saw creates recognition for the film title.
Film title is displayed very big in colours a lot different to the rest of the poster. To ensure it stands out.
A list of all the people involved, mainly done for recognition in case the audience specifically like someone in particular, although also there as a gesture.
List of sponsors, yet again in case the audience like someone in particular.
The poster of 'The Grudge' straight away tells you it is a horror film with the colours and the scary image. The creator of the poster has used dark colours to show the eerie side of the film and included blood red font as the title in bold capital letters which catches the eye. The image creates a scary feel to the poster as the eye peers out of her hair straight at you so it makes the audience scared to look at it but at the same time intrigued and wanting to watch it as it looks scary and appeals to that particular type of audience.
The slogan at the bottom is white and bold so that the viewer can see and observe it. ‘It never forgives. It never forgets’. That slogan refers to the title of the film ‘The Grudge’ and gives the viewer a hint of what the film could be about. Someone who can’t forgive someone nor forget what has happened and possibly wants revenge. The release date is featured in bold red letters at the bottom of the page along side the small font advertising who is featured in that film. The credit are not that important otherwise would be the same large font at the rest.
This poster of 'Final Destination' doesn’t tell us anything about the film, just creates a terrifying atmosphere by using a disturbing image with a great effect to it to stun the audience. The colours are significant because by using dark colours, it creates a scary feel to the poster and tells the audience that it is a horror film.
The title of the movie is featured in the centre of the poster at the bottom in white bold lettering so the audience knows what the film is called. It has the release date just under the title in bold red font, again being bold and noticeable enough to the viewers.

The film slogan is right at the top of the page for recognition.
His eyes have been made this black in contrast with his white face, It is to attract attention to the broken glass and look spooky
Title of the film is kept very large and bright
The film release date is also rather large and bright so it’s easily noticed
This particular poster has been kept very minimal. This has worked well in this case as when looking at the poster the first thing that is noticed is release date and the title. That is why it has been created like this.
A lot of black is used; black is a very morbid and unhappy colour. This may act as a metaphor for the film
Directors name.
Title of the film
Film slogan, mainly put there for recognition.
names of people who starred in the film, etc are written here as a kind of advertisement and gesture.

The poster of 'saw' is very simple but effective, using simple images and simple fonts, the poster in itself still looks scary and you can tell it is a horror film. The images of the saw and the teeth is a hint to what the film is about and you can imagine how disturbing and horrifying the film might be. The images are big and attract the eye as well as the title of the film, slightly moved to the side, with the images taking up most of the poster. The title is effective as the font is unusual, big, bold and black with an effect on it which makes it look broken up and distorted. The slogan at the bottom is not as important at the title and the images but is still important hence why it is bigger than the credits featured at the bottom of the page. The slogan is in capitals and is still quite bold and easy enough for the viewers to read and focus on.
