3. The title is red which makes it
stand out.
Penny Wise's arm reaches
around the balloon as if its
trying to snatch the child.
Penny Wise’s face is covered
by the balloon this shows that
he doesn’t want to reveal his
face yet.
Child looks innocent
this presents Penny
Wise goes after weaker
children.
The balloon is what Penny Wise
carries when he kidnaps children.
The title looks like
blood dripping
down the poster.
The caption “You’ll float
to” represents that the
balloon plays a part in the
story.
The close up shot
makes it look like the
child is not alone.

wide open this

eager to accomplish
what he wants.
The clowns smile
makes you
tremble in your
shoes.
The darkness
enshrouds the clown
this represents
something terrible
has happened to the
clown.
The light next to him represents he has
come from outside.
The way his eyes gaze at you it makes
you think he has found what he has
been stalking.
His makeup is smothered all over
his face with faint dark patches
representing dirt.
His bright blue eyes are
looking directly at
something what is it looking
at.

5. The dark, black clouds
represent something bad is
going to happen. Are they
going to die?
The male in the poster is
presented as the strong
one as he is wielding an
axe and if it comes to close
up combat he can protect
himself.
The female is holding a gun so
if she is attacked by a vampire
up close she might not be
able to defend herself
although if they are far away
they can be killed easily.
The way the couple are looking makes you think
that something is there but their backs aren’t
protected and behind them shows they are
surrounded.
The face in the bottom of the corner
presents he is screaming not in fear as if he
looks the bloodshed.
The male is a sheriff and protects the
innocent.
The girl is wearing bright purple lipstick
this sexualizes her in the film. She is the
eye candy to the male.
Fast, brutal and totally unstoppable this
represents the vampires as evil murderers.
They’re coming makes you
something is going to kill
them.
The 0 in the 30 looks like an eye this makes us
think that someone is always watching.
The blood covering half the screen connotates
that there is a lot of blood involved in the film.
