Movie tagline makes audience feel helpless, suggests horror to
unfamiliar viewer. “You cant” and “You can” are examples of direct address that target the audience.
Main image intrigues audience as it gives very
little (if no) detail about the film other than a part of it takes place in a house. This targets the audience as a home is meant to be safe,
but this camera filter suggests danger.
Image suggests movies main protagonist or antagonist. More suggestions towards antagonist
due to use of blood however the pure connotations of the
white dress suggests a protagonist.
Blood face suggests a demon or supernatural entity within the
movie, maybe a hint to another antagonist.
Title towards the centre of the poster in large font allows for it to be easily read, the font also matches the blood face on the
image beneath.
Small print titles and date to provide some more
information for the audience.
Reference to other renown horror films builds expectations
and anticipation for this film.
Scaffolding and statue suggest a big even occurring, linking to
the tagline “The Final Chapter”.
“Final” pays homage to previous Saw titles and
suggests that it has built up to this film.
Low placement of title draws attention to release date and director information which
provides more details about the film.
Use of metal and machinery hints at ‘game traps’ from
previous films while also using the metal to connote a cold and
painful experience for the characters, as metal is often
seen as being a cold material.
