Analysis of film poster.




This poster is particularly fascinating as it is very unusual. The colour theme is dark and mysterious like most horror movies. The colour scheme relates to the main image on the page as the partial narrative displayed on the poster is very mysterious. As there is a head (half skull) and shattered glass. The half skull and half skin of the head shows that the person is dying as skin represents life and skulls represent death and the glass shattering enforces the destruction and death theme.

The font on the film poster is very plain and it all tends to be in white except for the exception of ‘coming soon’ which is in red so the audience know to eagerly anticipate it. The poster features the website at the bottom of the page, tagline “Rest in pieces” this interlinks with the image as the image is shattered in to pieces, and it’s also a mockery of the saying rest in peace when someone passes away. The title of the film seems to be glowing to get the viewers attention and stay in their mind.

Also it features information about the film being available to see in 3D, with a special tagline “Death saved the best for 3D”, this will attract more of an audience as 3D is a newish technology out in cinemas and people enjoy watching things in 3D at the cinema as not everything’s available to watch in 3D at the moment, therefore it is a unique selling point.

Although this poster has a great look I noticed they do not have the names of any actors, actresses or directors on the film poster. However this is because the “Final Destination” films feature new un-established actors in their films, which could be seen as very unconventional of films in general as normally they have at least one actor/ actress you recognise.
