Poster- Paranormal Activity

This is the official poster for the film "Paranormal Activity" I don't really think that this is an appealing poster because it feels very neat and tidy. This is because there isn't words over the picture which makes it look to perfect in a way, as there is writing at the top, picture in the middle and the title at the bottom. I also think that there is too much writing on the poster which also makes it unappealing to the audience especially for people that don't like reading. A poster should be short and snappy so that it sticks in the audiences head. You can tell from the picture that this film will be mainly filmed through a video camrea showing that the story might be real life. I like the effect of the title as it look like it has been smudged which shows that it is important because it is printed twice. I also like the contrasts of the colour because it makes the title stand out and catches the audiences eye quickly. This is definatley one of the effects that i am going to use to make the title stand out as more people remember the title. You can tell that this movie is a horror movie because of the colours that are used on the poster showing that it is darkness and there will be a lot of danger in this film because of the captions that are used at the top but also because of the colours. I think that the caption at the top is the most important thing on the poster because it tells the audience a lot about the film i just think that it is too long and will put people of reading it. But I think that it is the most important thing on the poster and that is why it has been put at the top of the poster in white writing. I think that the effect of this whole poster is like a news article because the the font that is used and because of the strict layout.
