Analysis of 3 posters Media

1. The main star of the film. Simple yet professional.
What we see is a bunch
of people piling on top
of a helicopter this
suggests that there is
chaos.
Background we see a City
burning which could
suggest problems and
trouble as it looks like
there was a war.
World war z is
apocalyptic
action horror
many genres is
a hybrid
We see a glimpse of the sun
which gives the audience
hope but zombies seem to be
blocking half of it which could
mean hopelessness.
A huge red Z in the middle
which could connotes blood. As
War involves blood. In addition
the Z could suggest Zombies
however this is left for the
audience so that they don’t
give much information away.

2. The Tag Line is also seen and
seems to be a Rhetorical
question. That involves the
reader and gives the audience
a hint on what the film could
be.
The title is all white
except 'House' that is in
red which connotes
blood and death. The
droplets around the
word suggest someone's
bleeding out or torture.
This also follows majority of
horror posters where there is
no characters or lead actors
and shows a house that looks
abandoned as it looks dark
inside suggesting danger.
The poster focuses on dark
mise en scene which is
following the typical
conventions of horror.
A credits block is also seen
giving the audience an idea
on who might be involved

3. We see the
Famous Saw
Title
Scratches in the
background giving the
audience that sense
that there will be
torture.
We see a date on when it will
be out, a big distribution
company letting the audience
know that it will be near them
and a website which allows the
audience to find out more
The 'I AM STILL AMONG
YOU' is a tag line which
scares the audience as
people will be scared as
there still in danger.
Chain in a V sign which
in roman means 5.
Therefor it is a sequel.
The hands seem
chained giving the
sense of torture and
death as the colour of
the hands is pale and
purple.
