30 DAYS OF NIGHT POSTER
This poster uses many typical Horror
poster themes. It uses only two colours, which are red and black. Red and black
are the most common colours used on Horror film posters and this is because of
what they represent and make you initially think of when you see the colours
displayed in a certain way. The colour of red is used because in horror films,
there are a lot of gory scenes that commonly involve blood, something that many
people are slightly put off or disturbed by. The red is used to make you think
of this, and also to give you insight of what will be shown in the film. Red
also is a colour to signify danger, something that every horror film plot
entails. Black symbolizes a long list of things in general and especially in
horror. As black is the darkest colour there is, it connotes with darkness and
the unknown, which can be considered scary and unsettling. Black also
symoblises death, mystery, fear, evil, unhappiness, depth, hopelessness, sadness,
remorse, anger, and mourning (to name a few). All of these things are very much
referred to in horror films in some way or form. There will almost always be a
scene where it is very dark in a horror film. The choice of colour used on a
film poster is extremely important because a film poster is almost like a
window/sneak peak insight
