The Final Destination - Poster Analysis

The film The Final Destination was released in the year of 2009 its country of origin is America. There are currently 5 "Final Destination" movies in its franchise. This horror movie poster from the film the final destination shows a victim from the film. The victim appears to be a young attractive female. The female character shows to have half of her face looking normal with skin and the other half shows a skeleton mouth representing death. This tells the audience that she could possibly die in the film. The face of the women is surrounded by shattered glass that looks as if it is piercing her skin. The shattered glass affect could also tell the audience that the female is as breakable as glass. The tag line on this movie poster “rest in pieces” also links to the glass imagery. The colours on this movie poster are the traditional colours that are used on stereotypical horror movie posters which are blacks and other pale colours. The black represents the dark side to the film which tells the audience that this film is a horror. The fonts on the poster kept simple and are in capitals. The colour of the text is a bright white colour making it stand out to the viewers against the black background; this could also be a representation o0f death as it brings a heavenly presence to the poster. I think the target audience for this film is for older teenagers as the film has been rated as a 15.
