Horror Deconstructions

Tag line at the top is all in capitals and a bright red on a black background so it stands out and is eye catching.Red is also a colour with connotations of horror.

Image is very disturbing and shocking and blends into the black background and really shows the idea of horror and creepiness.

The title is very bold and stands out and is white on a black background so it really jumps out.

This convention of a a poster is found on nearly all movie posters and it gives all the vital information about the film including the distributors.

This tag line is distinct and bold, it stands out from the black background.

The main focal of this image is the character (antagonist) in the middle. His costume consists of an axe which is iconic and connotes as horror. He is showing no flesh and his face is covered by a hockey mask which makes him seem more mysterious.

The background image is based in the woods which is iconic and connotes horror. It has very low lighting witch creates a foggy mysterious effect.

The date of this film really stands out as it is all in capitals and in a vibrant red.

This again is all the vital information of the poster found on most film posters.

This it the tag line of this poster, It isn’t the best tag line and it’s not as eye catching and quite long to read.

The main picture is good as it gets direct eye contact with the viewer and the eyes are very eye catching as they are a deep blue and you can see the fear in her eyes which is effective and creating horror atmosphere.

I like the title of this poster because it is all in capitals and stands out a lot from the background. They way they have separated the letters also looks good.

This is one poster that goes away from the convention of using black all the way around the image and uses a more full screen image and this works well and it is really shocking.

This picture is good as in the eye it has a picture of a flash back from the film and I’ve used a similar technique to this with my character faded over a picture of my location.
