- 1. They have used a mask on the poster to create a sense of mystery as soon as the viewer sees it. The eyes are barely shown as it wants to make sure that the creepy guy is watching you from an obscure angle. This links to the genre as it shows the eyes are always watching you in a creepy way and horror is a creepy genre. They use lighting on the mask against a black background which emphasises features of the creepy mask. This links to the genre as it shows a dark background and little lighting on several parts on the face as the person on the poster is a dark person. The title font and colour they have used is very blunt. This makes it standout compared to the black background. There is also a hashtag that says “#survivethenight” this creates a sense of fear for the viewers to get involved in encouraging people to see the film. This links to the genre as the word ‘survive’ means it’s life threatening like horror is threatening and terrifying.
