Poster- Nightmare On Elm Street

This is the official poster that was released for the movie "A Nightmare On Elm Street". As you can see this poster is very dark which portrays the genre of the film as it shows the darkness and the danger that will be in the film. I like this poster because it is very simple but effective at the same time. This is because the image on the poster covers the whole of the posters which shows that it is the most important thing in the movie and this is what tells the story. The layout of the poster is very simple as the image is in the middle of the poster and the title is underneath the poster along with the actors and actresses staring in the film. This informs the audience who the main characters are in the film which could persuade them to watch it if they like the actors and actresses. I like the effect of the title because it is the opposite colour to the background which makes it stand out a lot more meaning it is easier for the audience to see as it will catch the eye easily. The main picture on the poster is the claw that covers half of the womens face. This shows that this will be the main danger in the film. The genre is very easy to see as all the effects on the poster tells you. This means that the effect on the title gives the signal that something bad is going to happen as it is as if it is scratched or in a way it is showing a sign of blood. Also if you look closely on the picture in the background there is a drawing of a grave stone showing that people will die in this movie and there will be violence.
