2. • The knife featured in the poster
is Black:
• This is used to show the
contrasting effect of the Black
knife on the white background.
The white background infers
purity and the black knife is
symbolic of an invasion of this
and foreshadows events in
which unpure life is perhaps
made to pay for the sins which
they have conducted.
3. • The front cover features little
text to withhold a lot of
information. This is
important as it makes the
film more mysterious and
the focus is solely on the
knife which we can only use
to assume is used as a
weapon of murder and gives
us a clear view of the genre
and a small insight to the
hidden storylines.
4. • The font styling used is in bold
which allows the reader of the
poster to notice it straight
away. The capital letters also
show the importance of the
title in relation to the film. The
font looks very standard as
seems to be an everyday type
of font. This is significant as it
means that the audience will
feel closer to the horror as they
will be more likely to think it
applies to them.
5. • The knife is also significant
as it represents the
number 4. Obviously
inferring that it is the
fourth film in the series.
Also the number 4 in china
is considered to be unlucky
as it is pronounced
similarly to the word
meaning death in Chinese.
