2. Distorted Text:
The text used for the
poster is distorted. The
distorted text suggests
the theme that the film
isn’t as it seems and
that there is a twist in
the film. This is
because distortion
represents
exaggeration which
makes the film appear
different from the way it
really is.
Catch Line:
The catch line is cleverly used to reveal a significant piece of information about the film. Th
home’ have no connection to viewer because they have not seen the film. This is effective
watching the film so they can unveil the secrets of the cover line.
Mask:
The use of a mask for the
protagonist is commonly used on
horror film posters as it tends to
leave an element of mystery
surrounding the antagonist and
therefore entices the viewer to
want to learn more.
Cast:
The poster has put important cast
members on the trailer to make it
appeal to viewers. This is
because these two actors are
famous and are well respected
so it is more appealing to viewers
to watch a film with consistent
and popular actors because they
are guaranteed a good film.
3. Title:
The title consumes the
poster to make it stand
out visually to the
audience to ensure the
viewer reads it. The text
is distorted and looks
scratched in to the
poster. This is effective
as it conveys the idea
that the film is un-
natural and this is
suggested through the
use of distorted text.
Mask:
The mask has used a
animal for the mask to
convey the idea that the
film is un-natural and
that the antagonist is
almost in-humane
making him and the film
come across very
mysterious and dark.

Mask
Title:
I will have a large
title to make the title
be the first thing the
audience see’s. This
will allow the title to
become iconic and
recognisable.
Mask:
I will depict the
antagonist with a
mask to make the
antagonist seem
mysterious. Also, this
will meet the generic
conventions of horror
films as it is a
common to have the
antagonist depicted
with a mask on.
Contents:
I will have a section
devoted to the contents of
the film. I will do this to
give credit to the film
company and crew
members as well as
offering important
information that the
audience will expect to be
told.
