Poster analysis:

I have also looked into Thriller movies as that is also one of our genres for our opening sequence. However this time I'm going to analyse a poster to look at the conventions of these genres.

I have chosen the movie "The Eye" poster to analyse:

 

Genre Conventions is thriller/ horror

• The jet black back ground contrast with the bright white features in the person and title
• The abnormal white eyes.
• Tagline, "Won’t believe her eyes", as if they have a mind of their own.
• Unable to see what she is seeing through the window provokes a scary enigma.
• Drops of rain on the glass add on misery.

Denotations/Connotations:

• The white eyes represent blindness but with the tagline means her eyes are abnormal and dark in contrast to its colour.
• Rain represents pain and misery. Also could relate to tears from eyes.
• Curtains representing the opening of something, like revealing something, in this case something bad as there is just darkness in the poster.
• Her white washed emotionless face, makes her look as if she is possessed, it is not her.
• The 1st tagline is long and informational from a dictionary, stating this could be true based on facts. Again provokes enigma.

Audience Pleasures:

• They expect a transfer of an eye donor to some one who needs eyes, but however those eyes are not right and do not see like everyone else
• They expect thriller and horror in the images that the main characters eyes see.
