Research- Analysis of Posters

A trailer will not be the only product that my group and I will have to make. We also have to produce a poster. I decided to look more into some horror posters that have been made. I print screened this, I found it interesting that the majority of posters that came up had similar set outs. They all were very dark, this creates more of effect because you instantly know its a horror movie poster. Most of the pictures were close ups, close ups are used to show the expression on an individuals face, they all had an expression portraying either hurt or possession. I think that this scares the audience more as it could make them feel like their personal space is being invaded in a sense.
