Research and Planning: Film Poster Analysis Two

The close up shot shows the protagonist of the film, and this shows that she is scared of something however the mise en scene prop and facial expressions contrast as a tiara would suggest a happy event however her facial expressions clearly shows she is not happy and is in trouble. The image is tinged with a blue tone and the character is screaming which hints that the genre of the film is horror and that something bad is going to happen to her. The narrative of the film is shown through the image and the film title, 'Prom Night' is a night that every young girl dreams of however for this character her prom night is more of a nightmare, the red letters suggest danger, lust and blood; these three could be potential themes of the film. It is obvious that this is a film poster through the use of production company logos, film title and tag line, date/season the film is coming out. The female character isn't pulling the most attractive face however the white teeth and perfect make up shows that the character could be objectified in the film therefore I think the audience for this film is male and females aged 16 to 25 years old as it doesn't seem to be an intense horror film. The tagline 'A NIGHT TO DIE FOR' suggests that there will be deaths within the film and it could be a high school massacre, the font is typical of the horror genre.
