This quote contains the word devil, which just like the title of this poser carries religious connotations
and again when associated with a horror film lets the viewer of the poster know that there is most
likely going to be paranormal events within the film, the text of this quote is also very sharp which
helps to give the poster a eerie view, along with this the particular words are in red in the quote to
add emphasis to them.
The title of my film poster
communicates the genre of horror
through the use of satanic symbols,
such as the upside down crucifix
and the pentagram, these carry
connotations of religion and satanic
rituals, which when associated with
a horror film usually connote to the
audience that the film is going to be
based around paranormal events.
This title relates the poster back to
my production as it is very similar to
the title which was used in it.
Information about the films social
medias, In recent years social media
is becoming one of the best ways to
advertise your film and to help keep
your audience in touch with the
latest information about your film,
recently more and more films are
beginning to include their social
medias on their posters which in turn
influenced me to also put them on
my film poster.
The main image of my poster is a
gun, which instantly helps to connote
the genre of the film to the viewer of
the poster as guns carry various
connotations such as death, murders
and criminality. On its own a gun
would not prompt the genre of
horror into a viewer's head but when
combined with other parts of my film
poster such as the tile it becomes
very apparent what the genre of the
film is to the viewer.
At the bottom of the poster is more
information on how to find out
more about the film as well as its
release date, these pieces of texts
are made distinguishable from each
other through the use of different
font styles and the use of red and
black fonts which also help to
complement the white, red and
black colour scheme of the poster. I
chose this colour scheme as red
carries connotations of evil and
death, and black and white connote
blandness.
The British Film Institute logo
which is featured on all Sight &
Sound magazine covers, it is
usually coloured but I decided to
grey mine out as I believed that
it fitted with the colour scheme
of my magazine cover much
more when it was greyed out as
opposed to being coloured. The
grey, black and red colour
scheme helps to signify the
genre of horror to the viewer as
red can signify death and evil
and black and grey are insipid
colures and signify dullness, this
relates back to the green of
horror as in horrors bland
colours are mainly used as
opposed to colures which pop.
The font and colour of the main
title on the magazine cover help
to signify to viewers of the
magazine cover the genre of the
film which is horror, due to the
main image communicating
several genres this text is a crucial
part of the magazine cover and
this is why it is the largest text on
the magazine cover. The font
which looks like smeared blood
when put in red carries
connotations of death and evil,
this is why the colour red is very
prominent on this cover.
The main image of my magazine
cover is of my antagonist firing a
AK47 assault rifle, the image is
made to look as if the character is
peeking around a wall which is the
edge of the magazine cover
creating a neat effect, the
character is wearing all black
which signifies to the viewers of
the cover that he is mysterious
and this is further amplified by the
fact that he is wearing a mask,
making him seem even more
mysterious. The image does
however connote multiple genres
to the viewer, it could easily be
mistaken for a action movie,
never the less the other images
and text on the magazine cover
greatly help to connote to the
audience that the film is in fact a
horror film.
