POSTER

The poster for woman in black

features an old-fashioned picture

of children with their eyes being

cut out. Using the children creates

a sinister atmosphere and portrays

the basis of the film. The poster is

quite plain but is intimidating to

the reader as the title ‘The

Woman In Black’ is shown in an

eerie white with a fading

background.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK

POSTER

The film sinister uses an image as its

background. The image is of a child

dragging blood across a wall with a demonic

face painted in the blood; this represents

what the film is based around as the face is

shown to lead her to draw him. The red of

the blood stands out against the grey and

black writing on the poster. The title

‘Sinister’ is given a drop shadow effect to

show a slight dripping of the letters, with it

being centred in the middle of the poster

and above the girl.

SINISTER

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT

POSTER

This poster uses the colours of black and

white throughout with only the symbol of the

Blair Witch being shown in red; to stand out

and represent its significance. The image of

the woods is used as the background to the

poster with a negative effect – this could show

camera settings it was used to be filmed with

or the purity and darkness of the woods. A

text box is given in the middle of the poster

giving background to the story as if to show it

matter of fact-ly with the title ‘The Blair

Witch Project’ being displayed at the bottom

of the poster very simply.
