The Blair Witch Project
The document discusses the marketing techniques used for the movie The Blair Witch Project in 1999. Both the trailer and movie poster featured an image of a crying girl to indicate frightening scenes and used the found footage genre to make the film seem realistic. The unique selling point was that little detail was given about the film, creating ambiguity about whether it was real or fictional that effectively scared audiences and promoted the horror genre. Dark colors and lighting were used in the posters to imply fear and confusion.
Poster Analysis
This document analyzes two movie posters - Buried and Drag Me To Hell. For the Buried poster, it notes that the logo uses yellow tones to represent the limited light from a lighter, while patches of brown represent the mud the character is buried in. It leaves the audience unsure if the character will survive. For the Drag Me To Hell poster, the title stands out against a dark background with fire at the bottom to represent hell. It shows a female character being pulled down in the center to engage the audience about why she is being dragged to hell. Both posters provide just enough information to intrigue audiences without revealing too much of the plot.
The blair witch project
The document analyzes three posters created for the 1999 horror film The Blair Witch Project. Each poster uses different visual elements and designs to promote key aspects of the film's plot, which involves three student filmmakers who go missing in a forest. Poster 1 features a frightened protagonist's face and tagline hinting at the film's "found footage" premise. Poster 2 focuses more on the ominous forest setting and includes a critic quote. Poster 3 depicts the missing students and uses a "MISSING" header to directly reference the film's narrative. Though with varying visual styles, the posters maintained consistent fonts and colors to clearly link them as part of the same promotional campaign for the low-budget film.

Question 1a
This document evaluates a horror film poster the author created for an A2 media production in relation to genre and representation. The poster uses dark colors and imagery like leaves and a deserted setting to represent the horror genre and draw in the target audience. It features a young girl's face in bright colors against the dark background to disorient the viewer, challenging expectations through difference and repetition. The poster also challenges stereotypes by representing a young female as the villain rather than the usual male antagonist, keeping the audience interested through unexpected representations while still providing familiar genre conventions.
Posters
The document discusses the design process for a movie poster. It describes two concepts that were developed:
1) The first poster featured the main protagonist Eve looking up at the trees with her tattoo visible, challenging conventions by not depicting her in distress. However, it lacked clear horror elements.
2) The second poster incorporated more horror conventions by including a large hand grabbing towards the viewer, alluding to threats in the woods shown in the trailer. User testing found this second poster was preferred by most participants as fitting better with the horror genre.
Media presentation
The document discusses and analyzes three horror movie posters. All three posters use dark colors and shadows to create a scary and ominous atmosphere. Poster 1 uses red to highlight danger and skulls above the Eiffel Tower to indicate it is a horror film. Poster 2 uses an all-black background and shadows to appear creepy, while the woman's uneasy expression suggests she will die. Poster 3 features a possessed-looking boy which intrigues viewers about the plot. Overall, the posters employ dark tones and lighting to signal danger and death without any other context.

Overall, the poster follows conventions of the horror genre to intrigue audiences and leave them wanting more information.

This document analyzes the poster for the horror film "The Devil Inside". It notes that the title stands out in white text against a red backdrop, suggesting religious and sinister themes. The poster features a nun whose corrupted soul is meant to terrify viewers. Red, black, and white are used conventionally to represent blood, death, and innocence. Scuffed visual effects and a red glow enhance the dark and scary tone. The tagline "No soul is safe" relates to the theme of possession and corruption. Mention of the film being based on true events adds realism to attract audiences. The analysis will inspire the design of the responder's own horror film poster and trailer.
Paranormal Activity Poster Textual Analysis
The Paranormal Activity movie poster uses imagery and text to effectively advertise the horror film genre. The poster features two main characters in a grainy bedroom setting pointing towards a mysterious figure at the door. Black, white, red and blue colors are used to convey a chilling atmosphere. Bold text stands out against the dark background, with the title in blurred red and language questioning what happens at night to intrigue viewers. Positive critic reviews and a demand service encourage audiences to experience the "scariest movie."
Horror Film Poster Analysis
The poster depicts an old woman sitting alone in a dark, dingy room holding a creepy doll. Details like scratches on the walls, shadows on the floor, and the woman's posture imply something supernatural or terrifying has occurred. The poster uses conventions like a dark color scheme, isolated central image, and taglines to promote the film as a supernatural horror and attract audiences interested in the genre.
Blair Witch Project Advertising Campaign Analysis
The document discusses the marketing campaign for the 1999 horror film The Blair Witch Project. It began with creating an elaborate website and distributing missing posters that fueled rumors the film was real. Low-budget advertising targeted universities. Trailers were short and ominous, revealing little. This grassroots approach combined with the film being one of the first "found footage" movies led many viewers to believe the unknown actors and film were real, creating significant buzz around the film's release.
Powerpoint
The document discusses the design elements of a movie poster and magazine cover created to promote a horror film. For the poster, the designer uses a red and white color palette and includes the film title in dripping red font, credits at the bottom, and a close-up shot of the villainous doll at the center. The magazine cover continues the red, white, and green color scheme and features the main character with green eyes and blood, the film title, cover lines about content inside, and the publication masthead. Both the poster and magazine cover aim to attract their target teenage audience and effectively link to scenes and characters shown in the film's trailer and marketing online.
a level film poster analysis
The main image is a close-up of the protagonist's face showing an expression of pain and fear, with an eye visible in her open mouth. This extreme image dominates the poster and conveys the supernatural horror genre. Production company logos and the title are kept small and informal while the tagline promises this installment will be the "scariest chapter yet." Dark lighting and a black background create an ominous, nightmarish atmosphere reinforced by the protagonist's vulnerable, abnormal appearance.
Ancillary research 2.1
The document provides an analysis of film poster conventions based on research of four horror movie posters. Key conventions discussed include:
- Using close-up images of characters that relate to the film's story or theme.
- Placing the film title prominently in a contrasting color to stand out.
- Including taglines or subtitles that provide additional context or intrigue audiences.
- Featuring the release date in red to draw attention.
The analyses of individual posters examines how they convey their horror genre and would appeal to the target teenage/young adult demographic through creative use of images and text following common conventions. The research informs the creation of the student's own teaser poster.
Poster analysis 2
1) The poster promotes the horror film "The Devil Inside" about a woman who is possessed by an evil spirit.
2) It uses an image of a possessed nun with unnatural white eyes and a sinister smile to represent the film's theme of possession.
3) The black and red colors symbolize evil and death and help the image stand out, drawing the audience's attention to convey the battle between good and evil in the film's narrative.
Evaluation advanced portfolio
The document discusses the evaluation of a horror promotional package including a trailer, poster, and magazine. It describes how the package uses conventions of real media products in the horror genre. Color, imagery, text, and layout were employed to effectively convey horror and tension. Feedback from the target audience confirmed the package was generally successful in attracting their attention and interest through its use of scary imagery and a consistent symbolic link between pieces. Minor revisions to the trailer and a date on the poster were suggested based on audience responses.
Film poster analysis
The poster promotes a horror film by featuring a bloody image of a woman dragging her hand along a wall, implying a demonic presence. It includes the film's title in a sinister font and the tagline "Once you see him, nothing can save you", creating intrigue around the demon face drawn on the wall. The desaturated colors, emphasis on blood, and minimalist style amplify the horror elements to attract audiences to the gruesome yet mysterious film.

Analysis of horror film poster
- 1. Film Poster from my chosen genre Analysed Chynia Teixeira
- 2. The title, “Dead Silence” reveals to the audience that a death may occur in the film and the word silence links with the main image of the finger in that position that is associated with being quiet. The affect on the title creates a ghostly and eerie effect, also makes the title appear disorientated. The main image straight away creates fear within an audience because the use of the doll would relate to childhood as would the position of the finger that indicated silence, however the skin would change this relation to childhood and innocence and creates a sinister feel to it, also the eyes on the doll look as though the doll is looking straight at you. The doll is wearing a ref bow and has red lips, this connotates danger and blood which is a common theme within horror films. Referring to another film that has the same director and film writers, is a common convention within horror film posters as it creates expectation and suspense within the audience. The tagline “You scream. You die”, reveals that death may occur within the film and it is talking to the audience which would create fear within them. The use of red writing relates to the connotation the red is associated with danger and blood which also reveals something bad is going to happen The background for this poster is black, this means that the audience is drawn straight to the puppet and the finger. Which allows them that the main focus is going to be the doll and that there may be some kind of demon involved within due to the skin and cuts of the hand. The simplicity is of the poster is what creates the most fear as it does not reveal too much about the film and also the use of low key lighting also creates the most fear because it reveals to the audience that this is the character is evil.
- 3. What have I learnt? From analysing this horror film poster I have developed new ideas for the ways in which my group could create a horror film posters. The main ways would be a black background the use of low-key lighting and the use of the colour red to connotate danger and create fear within our audience. Another way we could create a successful film poster is by keeping it simple and just including the doll this way we don’t reveal too much about the film.
