it. This font has many horror connotations and is therefore a convention of a horror film.
They have also used sans serif fonts within this poster this is to make it clear to the
audience and also to emphasies some of the text including the tagline. The heading is also
the largest sized font this is so that it draws in the attention of the audience. They have also
used a smaller size font for the information at the top, this would be to show the audience
the importance of the writing. The writing at the bottom is very small and looks like it has
been squashed this is conventional as they want to apply all the information to the poster
without using too much space.

has been used to show parts of the characters face and

fear and then this would make the audience feel
concered for this character. This shot type also uses
emphasis on the eyes of the character and how they
are very wide and they connote fear within themself.
Mise-en-scene: In this poster they have used a lot of
low key lighting and only part of the image is lightened
up, this is to represent the title of the film as it is used
to represent a mirror. Due to the shot type we are not
aware of the setting or the costume of the character
this adds to the mystery of the film.
Colour: The main colour that has been used on this
poster is black, black connotes a hidden mystery and
therefore in a horror poster it connotes danger within
the darkness surrounding the main image. The black
also connotes a lack of any emotion and a detachment
from the real world. They have also used aspects of
grey within the image this also emphasises the lack of
the emotion within the character. They have also used
red for some of the titles this is to represent danger
and also some disturbance within the film.

font to add in additional information, this is positioned at the top of the poster, this
information advertises the film. At the bottom of the poster however they use some sans
serif fonts and the size of this font is a lot smaller this is so they can advertise additional
information from the film without making it the main focus.

attachments to the world around her.
