Comparison

I have analysed 2 posters from the same film called 'The Conjuring'. The 2 posters are very different from each other and I wanted to compare what I liked with them and which one I prefer.

I think that the first poster is more scary as the lighting is more darker and it shows Annabelle who is a very scary looking doll. There's not much to the poster as the Woman on the chair is looking away, this creates a mysterious feeling to the posting which makes it scary.

Both of the posters include 'Based on the true case files of the Warrens' and 'From the Director of Saw and Insidious' as they both need to include them as they are the conventions of the poster and also they would both engage the audience more to watching the film.

However even though that ones scarier i prefer the second poster, I have been analysing posters that have been of close ups and they just really interest me as you can see that emotion on there face as I have explained in the analysis above. The facial expressions can give a deeper meaning. The second one is also not a typical layout like the top, the top doesn't have much creativeness to it however with the candle being the 'I' in 'Conjuring' this makes the masthead/picture creative.

I would like to do something like the second one in my poster,i  think with the film in the second poster that is an important scene and that's why the creativeness of the candle has been used. I would like to do something creative like this and not basic like the first one. I would definitely want to use a close up like the second one to show things like cuts/eyes/make-up/emotion. Making the film seem more fearful.
