Friday the 13th is an American
horror released in 2009.
The front cover is of the killer, and conventionally you
cannot see his face due the lighting and him wearing a mask, which as a motif
of horror films. The angle used to represent the killer id from a low angle
which connotes his power and danger as you look up to him. The killers appearance is iconic as he is a
large male with a weapon and a mask on.
The background is of a forest gain iconic to horror films as
the victim has no one to safe them or run too. The type of horror I think a
gore slash horror, due the weapon he has as the title being in red representing
blood.
The main dominate colour is black or grey, this gives the
poster the horror film atmosphere and tension. Also the title being in red
connotes gore and a conventional horror film. It will appeal to the audience as
the light above is head draws your eye to face and the down his body towards
the weapon and finally the title. This will make the audience view the whole
poster attracting them to the film.
The tag line ‘WELCOM TO CRYSTAL LAKE’ gives a slight hint to
the narrative of people going to the lake and meeting the killer, on the iconic
date of Friday the 13th. Also them putting the directors other films
on the poster will attract an audience of people who liked the films.
The target audience for this horror film I feel would be
teenagers mainly male but also a high female audience as well. I think mainly
male because horror films tend to aim towards the male audience more.
