Both of these posters uses a simple yet extremely effecftive use of 2-3 colours, the used of white subverts the horror genre and indicates purity which makes the overlay of red and other colours more poignant. Both have a simple image which allows the veiwer to focus on the image and really connect to the gore. The use of fingers and other body parts play on the convention of audience fear of dismorphia.
Inspiration for my Poster
I like the way this poster has the protagonist in the for ground, and the 'zombies' in the background. For my horror that could be Danni at the front with the 'infected' rebellious teens in the background. The set of a city could also be used in ares, instead of the glare of the of the clouds, the orange tones cound reflect the fire started within the the riot footage.
This poster reflects the bathroom scene in are trailor, its also has aspects of male gaze and and highlights the convention of voyerism which is used throughout many films especially horror. It also dresses the protagonist in all white which indicates her purity, this is similar to are protagonist Danii.
Key Conventions Within These Posters
- Maximum of 3-4 colours one must be white
- Protagonist in the front (however it does no have to be a clear shot of them)
- Main Title Centred and towards the bottom of the page
- Additonal text right at the bottom of the page
- Simple pictures, image of dismorphia
- A bit of text towards the top, almost like a strapline
