Still Image Analysis

Analysis Of The Mise-En-Scene..

..Costume..
Costume in this poster has not been shown but i have chosen this poster because of the way it stands out and becomes eye catching as soon as you look at it.
..Lighting..
In this poster you can see that Low Key Lighting has been used this is mainly because you can see that all the lighting is being used on the eyes of the main character and creates a dramatic effect with the dark lighting around it makes the film seem more intresting not only that but it also gives away the genre of the film which is Horror/Thriller this makes the film seem more affective.
..Actors..
Only one actor has been shown in this poster it gives you a sence of what the movie may be about you can see that the character does not seem to be a nomal person which makes it seem more affective.
..Make-Up..
As soon as you look towards this poster the audience can see the make-up on the main character. In this particular poster it shows how the eyes have a dramatuc effect around them you can see the black shadow around the eyes this may have been used to make the eyes seem as if they are the center of attention for this movie. The part of the face that you can see is very dull and pale they have made the face seem extremly light with an effect of a green colour this makes the face seem scary in some ways which again connects back to the genre of the ilm.
..Props..
They havent shown any main props in this poster but this makes it seem as if the character on the film poster is going to be the key point of the movie which seems more effective.
..Setting..
Again they havent shown the setting of the film or anything that could give away were the film is set and why it may have been set there but i think they have done this so that the film seems to be more dramatic with the effects of the colours that have been used throughout the whole poster.

..Target Audience..
The target audience for this movie is shown to be 15 and over. The reason for this is because the rating for the movie "The Grudge" is shown to be 15 this again shows that the movie is set to be targeted at viewers from the age of 15 and over. I also think this because the movie genre is set to be a horror this means that the younger generation wont be pulled in to watch this movie were as the older generation would.
..Genre..
The genre of the movie is set t be a Horror movie you can tell by this because the poster gives it away this is because the way it has been layed out onto the page from the actors, lighting, costume and etc.
..Typography..
The typograpy used within this poster is very basic they have used the main colours of a horror movie Black and Red this makes the poster seem more effective. They have made the tittle of the film in the colour Red so that it stands out and becomes more effective. In some ways this can become the focal point of this poster.
..What The Film May Be About..?!..
Because of the layout of the film it gives you a sense of what it may be about, you can tell straight away that the film is set to be a Horror movie and the character of thie film is shown to be the focal point which makes it seem more affective the character also makes the film seem scary because the facial expressions given. the tag line that is used "It Never Forgives. It Never Forgets" this also makes you think about what the movie may be about the tag line seems strong and it gets staright to the point which makes it more affective. I think by looking at the film poster makes it seem as if its going to be about some creatures that may affect others lives.
