4. I think that this image is effective because it
looks like the person is trying to escape from
something but is being held back by a wall.
Also because its not the full image of
someone but is blurred, it gives the page that
creepier look because you feel like they are
reaching out to you for help. The way the
mouth is open also works well because it
links with the horror theme, as in horror
themes people are usually shouting for help
from others and this could be portraying this.
The way the picture has been done almost
seems as if it is foreshadowing what is going
to happen in the film and it becomes apparent
that a person is going to need help because
they are in trouble.
5. I think that this image is effective because
it’s a mask and it looks like its actually
‘screaming’ which links in with the name of
the film. It also shows that somebody is
going to be ‘screaming’ for help in the film
so could be foreshadowing this. Also the
use of the mask being white stands out on
the page and makes it look simple. The
way the mask is makes it more easier for a
person to remember the mask when they
hear the name of the film and they can
make the apparent link. The expression on
the face of the mask looks effective
because it shows scare and fright. This
links in excellently with the genre.
6. I like this image because of the effect
that has been put on it. Number one
being how the image looks faint and
looks like someone is sticking out their
tongue. I think the way the images that
have been taken from the film are in the
face of the image looks excellent
because it foreshadows what is going to
happen briefly and it allows for the
imagination to wonder what is actually
going to happen. The use of the face
being white also stands out on the
background and the expression makes
the image instantly link in with the
horror genre. This will be something I
will take into mind when it comes to
designing my own front cover.
