Posters

A lot of the posters use red coloring. Obviously this is a good way to show they are designed for a horror films. Red has connotations of danger, blood, temptation , anger and passion, so when we make our own poster, it would be a good idea to use a lot of shades of red as temptation and passion and the actions they inspire are really the main ideas for a our film. For the films that have female leads, (or strong characters) the poster seems to focus on close ups of the face. Signifying the fact they are the object of focus for the films. Their reactions make the film, so again this would fit in really well with our film poster as our female is the reason for the murders/ killings. However most of the faces are quite scary, for example screaming, which signifies they are a horror but I think our poster should be more subtle, as don't we want to give away the idea for the film straight away.
