1. The main star of the
film. Simple yet
professional.
What we see is a bunch
of people piling on top
of a helicopter this
suggests that there is
chaos.
Background we see a
City burning which could
suggest problems and
trouble as it looks like
there was a war.
We see a glimpse of the
sun which gives the
audience hope but
zombies seem to be
blocking half of it which
could mean
hopelessness.
A huge red Z in the
middle which could
connotes blood. As
War involves blood.
In addition the Z
could suggest
Zombies however
this is left for the
audience so that
they don’t give much
information away.
2. The Tag Line is also seen
and seems to be a
Rhetorical question.
That involves the reader
and gives the audience
a hint on what the film
could be.
The title is all white
except 'House' that is
in red which connotes
blood and death. The
droplets around the
word suggest
someone's bleeding
out or torture.
This also follows
majority of horror
posters where there is
no characters or lead
actors and shows a
house that looks
abandoned as it looks
dark inside suggesting
danger.
The poster focuses on dark
mise en scene which is
following the typical
conventions of horror.
A credits block is also seen
giving the audience an idea
on who might be involved
3. We see the
Famous Saw Title
Scratches in the
background giving
the audience that
sense that there
will be torture.
We see a date on when it will
be out, a big distribution
company letting the audience
know that it will be near them
and a website which allows the
audience to find out more
The 'I AM STILL
AMONG YOU' is a tag
line which scares the
audience as people
will be scared as
there still in danger.
Chain in a V sign which
in roman means 5.
Therefor it is a sequel.
The hands seem
chained giving the
sense of torture and
death as the colour of
the hands is pale and
purple.
