Genre in Posters


http://www.thedailyrotation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Sinister-Poster-2-691x1024.jpg Horror genre. This is obvious by the creepy font and title ‘Sinister” written in blood on wallpaper. The key image of the hanging people is haunting and catches the viewers eye straight away. This image symoblises death.  However there’s also a background image of what looks like a face resembling a skeleton with the dark eyes.

The producer and director are mentioned at the top of the poster. This is used for promotion and marketing purposes.

The key image of the two main characters, two A-list celebrities, will help towards promotion and marketing. Kathrine Hiegl is a poster-woman for popular rom-com’s. Gerard Butler is popular with the ladies and Katherine’s dress is revealing; this links to the male gaze and sexual objectification. The target audience is the female population. By dressing the main character in this way, a male is more likely to agree to see the movie with his counterpart. The poster also includes the release date, cast and crew and website.
