The Woman In Black - Film Poster Analysis - Amara Bullen

I have chosen the poster for 'The Woman In Black' as it caught my eye as effective and interesting.
It includes everything that is needed to explain the film as a still image which I will be talking about.

For a start, the main character is displayed and takes up the majority of the page. He is positioned to the left of the page using the rule of thirds to make the display look aesthetically pleasing. His face is pale, giving a ghostly affect. The expression is minimal not giving any hints as to how he's feeling to make people to watch it to find out.

His eye colour is emphasised as a very light blue to make people feel cold. This links in with his pale face. 
The background around him is dull, making the man's face stand out more.
In the darkness a ghostly figure is shown, blurred for a mysterious affect. 
Daniel Radcliffe's name is showed at the top of the poster in the same font used as the rest of the page to keep it consistent.




The title 'The Woman In Black' is in capital letters in a bold font that stands out. The haze of a cold, blue colour surrounds the text, drawing attention to what it's saying so that people will remember the name. The name of the film is short and easy to remember.

More text saying 'Do you believe in ghosts?' is shown slightly smaller that the title. This rhetorical question appears to be shown over the image of a ghostly face. The question makes viewers answer it in their heads but also gets them to feel like they do or will do if they saw the movie.
