Triangle
I like the positions of the characters in this poster, it creates a mysterious tone for the audience and the use of colouring creates an peculiar atmosphere which clearly sets the genre up for the audience. This is a good quality to have in a poster as the audience immediately know what they're in for. The black, bold font over the light background image makes the text very clear and eye-catching for the audience and the quote promotes the film. I may use the character positioning idea from this poster and use it in my own.
My Bloody Valentine
The colour use in this poster makes it very clear to the audience that this film is of the horror genre. Red and black are known as the fear provoking colours. The image is very well edited and is also very reticent as the image doesnt give away too much of the narrative. I am going to take the colour use from this poster and perhaps use it in a slightly different way for my poster.
Wrong Turn
I really like the image layers in this poster and how they have merged together 3 images to make one. The image of the creature is showing him in an angry state suggesting that in the narrative of the film, he is the one to cause the problem and disturbance (in a stereotypical horror narrative). The image of the girl looking scared also suggests that she is the main victim or survivor of the movie. If you analyse this film poster carefully, you can find out a lot about the film before even watching it. Depending on the reader, this could be a positive thing or a negative thing. Some people like to go into a film knowing absolutely nothing where as some others prefer to know a bit of background information so that they aren't completely in the dark about the film and know what they're in for. This poster definitely would attract the people who like to know a bit more about the film before watching. I think i'd want this aspect for my poster too.
