5. 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

like he knows

7. 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
