Research And Planning: Film Poster Analysis 2

 
 This is the second poster in which I have looked at Paranormal Activity 2, the genre of the film through the poster is represented as a horror due to the baby in the picture not being shown in the reflection in the bedroom mirror, the dog also seems to be barking at something which is not being shown along with the baby also looking in the same direction, the dark colours used also indicate the genre of the film to be a horror with the blue tinge that with also see. A high angle wide shot has been used to show the bedroom that the dog and the child are in, this shows the film to be horror for two reasons given that they are being looked down upon by something we cannot see and also that we can see the child and the dog looking at the door which something could be behind, we are also able to see the baby not being shown in the reflection showing that the poster is representing horror. The narrative that is being represented in the poster is that the house has something in there and we get the sense of this through the dog and the baby looking at a half opened door and the dog appearing to be barking, this makes you want to watch the film as you want to see what is behind the door. We are able to see that the poster is aimed at people aged 15-30 as this is an appropriate age for people to watch horrors. The mise-en-scene show that it is a childs bedroom through the cot in the left hand corner and the toys that are scattered around the room
