Analysis of Film Posters...

This is the film poster for the film 'Vacancy'.
The outline of this poster is black, dark connoting death and emptiness. The two main characters and the window in front of them are highlighted with an orange/red tint to it, this connotes danger and that they are in the spotlight suggesting that somebody is looking for them.
The reflection on the window shows the audience that the film is set in a motel, which is a hotel located by a roadside, this suggests that the stay was not intentional and that they are only staying there due to car trouble.
The two main characters are looking out of their window with scared expressions on their faces, showing that they are trapped in the room and that there is something outside the room that is trying to harm them.
The title of the film has been made larger than any other text on the poster which is likely to attract an audience if the name appeals to them. The writing has been made bold and clear so that it is easy to read and is one of the first things seen on the poster. The colour of the text is an orange/red which connotes blood and reflects the genre of the film which is possibly horror.
Just above the title the actors names have been used, this has been done because they are well known and are likely to attract more viewers to the film.
Underneath the title the text says: "Once You're In, There's No Way Out", this implies that the two characters have been lured into the motel room and are now trapped. This is a simple statement that shows the audience what the film is about without spoiling the whole plot, it also reinforces the genre of horror or thriller as it is short but haunting statement.
