The film Friday 13th
was released in the year of 2009 and is classed as a horror film. The main
image on this horror movie poster shows the murderer. We get a clear view of
the killer as we can see his whole body. A low angle has been used to make the viewer
feel smaller and make the murderer look more powerful. The murderer is wearing
a mask which restricts the audience’s view of his face giving a sense of
mystery to the poster. As the viewer’s eye travels up the poster we can see
more and more detail of the murder, including the fact that he is wearing a
mask. We can see where the main location of this film is going to be by the
tall trees in the background which appears to be surrounded by a thick mist
making the poster and the film seem scarier.
The dominant colours which
are used on this movie poster are again the stereotypical colours which appear
in most horror movies which are black and red. The red standing out in front of
black grabs the viewers’ attention. The title of the film is in capitals letters
shouting out to the audience. The tag line “welcome to crystal lake” introduces
the audience to where the setting of the film is and it welcomes the audience
to the setting as well to make them feel like part of the film. Again I would
say that the target audience for this horror film is for older teenagers who
enjoy horror films. The film is rated at an 18.
