I have decided to analyse this particular horror poster as I feel it has all the conventions needed to promote their film. As you can see from the mise en scene this poster has a main image of a vulnerable female character screaming in stress shows how this film follows a basic convention of maybe the female character getting hurt first or getting killed first. The image is placed in the center of the page which shows the importance and how effective it is to grab the audiences attention. The colour of the background also plays a important part, because it is filled with dark blue and black it shows the mysterious side and makes the audience want to know more about the film. Stereotypically, the colours on the poster follows the convention of horror films using dark colours, which clearly demonstrates to the audience the genre of the film. The significance use of the colour black represents the theme of death and evil. When looking at the poster on first sight, the first element you are able to notice is the Title, which is in a clear white font, which contrasts the dark background. The fact that final destination has been presented in a white font, suggests that its not just horror, otherwise they could of just picked a title that clearly presents the theme horror, for example it has a illuminating flash on the title which could suggest that there is light for the survivors. The audience are able to tell that the sub-genre is sci-fi by the use of the white font. The colour white connotes purity and innocence, which could relate to the genre of sci-fi, as its more fact than fiction.
