Film posters

   
This film poster is about a film called “dead snow”. The genre of this film is horror/ thriller. The colour scheme used in the poster is very bright but there are mainly three colours; red, white and black. In many massacre films, chainsaws are the main props used in those films like this poster there is red chainsaw that a man is holding with blood on the end of it which connotes violence to the audience. The mise-en-scene of the poster is violence and torture as the head of a man is lying on the floor with his eyes wide open which shocks and scares the audience. The costume is very basic with a man standing there with a chainsaw and an axe in his left hand pocket which indicates to the audience that the man wants to kill someone. The setting of the poster is in mountains and allot of snow is visible which maybe suggests that the film is set on a snowy background. The fact the poster only shows half of a male it creates the genre of mystery for the audience as they are trying to find out who the villain is.
The typography of the main heading of the poster is written in sans serif bold and it has pictures of men then is trying to shoot someone in the letters. The title “dead snow” sort of suggests to the audience that the film is about some villains trying to kill allot of people and then after he has slaughtered them he berries them into the snow of where he murdered them? And then the people in back of the man with the chainsaw in the hand act like the helpers of the victims as they are trying to find something in the snow.               
The main target audience that this poster would be aimed to attract would be a C2DE demographic social group roughly aged between 16- 24 years of age. Unemployed, semi-skilled and skilled manual workers would be interested in this thriller/horror genre as younger audiences may be scared to watch these kinds of films. This film would mainly be aimed at a male audience however females may be interested in watching this film but a fare minority. By first viewing this poster, you would be able to expect what the film is about in result of the blood and the man holding the chainsaw therefore this poster fulfils the audience’s expectations.
