POSTER ANALYSIS

 

Language: The title, tag-line, all following the expected codes and conventions of a film poster. The main prop of the the man with the unique barley visible phone covered in blood  implies a dark twist on what could otherwise be a simple/basic horror film

Audience: This looks like it would be targeted at people who like horror films lovers due to the dark colours and the blood. Most likely this film would be age based wise 15-30 due to the content showing blood meaning there must be a sense of violence.

Industry: The film was produced by Blum house Productions Crooked Highway. It is directed by Scott Derrickson.

Representation: The social picture shows  a man covered in blood behind the phone this most likely means that the phone has a main role in this move also red dial phones were popular in the 1960s meaning this was when the movie was set

-the man has a creepy mask and in horror films tis is to make the viewer unsettled
