1. The colour scheme in this film poster concentrates
mainly on the colours red and black. The colour red has
the symbolism of many different things but when related
to a horror or thriller it symbolises blood and death,
whereas black can symbolise emptiness and darkness
even evil therefore giving the perfect symbolism for the
film and telling the audience what sort of film it is going
to be.
The tagline at the top
of the page and the title
are both using capital
letters showing the
emotion in the phrases.
The tag line is two
phrases and is only 2
words in each and is
very short and
meaningful it doesn’t
take long to read and
gets straight to the
point and therefore
avoids boring the
audience.
The main image is a
shocking image of a
little girl in white curled
up on the floor. The red
colour seems to be
coming from her giving
the sense of her being
the dangerous one.
Although this is
contrasted by the way
she is positioned
because she is laid in a
weak position giving
the audience a feeling
that she is in danger.
Another interpretation
of the position of the
image, where it could
be seen as she is in a
womb and she is the
baby from the way she
is laid. The date of
release has not been
made to stand out as
much as the image or
the other text therefore
the marketer believed
that the image was
strong enough to sell
the film. The text is a
slightly brighter red and
therefore stands out
more so the audience
remember the name.
