Ancillary Task 1 Film Poster Deconstruction 2.

Sinister deconstruction.

I have chosen to analyse the horror movie poster for ''sinister'' because it would have the same target audiences as our film trailer also the same sub-genre, this being paranormal activity.
In the poster you are instantly drawn to the little girl smearing a picture of what looks like a clown on the wall, she is smearing the clown with blood... The reason for using a child in this poster ts it draw sympathy to her as she is most likely vulnerable. The blood/clown creation could give me the impression that the clown is a key character during the film with a high chance of being the antagonist.
The tag-line underneath the title ''once you see him, nothing can save you'' this connotes that danger of some sort will occur, or that pain is coming and even death.This gives emphasis to the film being a horror movie as well as a really successful method to build lots of tension. At the top of the poster it identifies that the producer is the person who produced both ''paranormal activity'' and ''insidious'' which could impact fans from these films as they're big hits from the film genre. People will want to compare both films between one another.
The cracks in the background with the wall imply that something made those happen and forcefully meant to damage the wall suggesting violence. The little girl is dragging the blood across the wall with her hand which could make the audience possibly question why or what she is doing and for what purpose as she looks like an innocent girl that would not' by choice have done this, perhaps she is under some kind of dark force that's making her do this.
