This document provides annotations for three horror movie posters created by Jasmine Shanker for a Netflix brief. The teaser poster uses visual effects like blur and paint splatters to convey danger and blood. The theatrical portrait poster features a dark corridor with a shadowy figure holding a bat to create mystery and unease. The quad poster edits the protagonist into a party scene using lighting effects to make her face look like it's under neon lights, isolating her from the crowd. All three posters effectively use visual conventions and meet the genre and Netflix brief requirements.
