MAIN TASK: Annotate this film poster to show 3-5 conventions of the
horror genre that have been used

2. The title of the genre
sounds really spooky
Creepy old house
The colour red could represent blood or
danger.
The smoky shallowly
effect that’s near the
house looks rather
mysterious.
The text on the bottom sounds sort of
spine-chilling.
The colour of the
picture is very dark
so it could signify
fearsome.

3. Extension 1: find another horror film poster to annotate. Copy and paste
the image below
The subtitle
sounds very
unnerving
On her face
there is a
sharp piece
of broken
glass
coming
straight for
half of her
face.
The image looks rather blood-curdling
The background is
also very dark so it
could signify fear or
terror.
There are
pieces of
glass
around the
whole
place
The girls eyes look sort of boss-eyed
and her eye ball dot has
disappeared which is unusual
which signifies fear or even evil.

4. Extension 2: now do the same for a film poster from another genre
The tittle of the film sounds very romantic
which signifies romance.
The image of
the film looks
like it’s a love
story.
The colour of the background
looks like a very deserted
colour.
