Friday the 13th Film Poster

This film poster works well due to the lighting and the lack of information which it suggests, therefore making people wonder what the film is going to be about therefore making people want to watch the film. The use of the medium long shot gave the full image of the character and the background of the scenery. The character being the main focus suggests that he is possibily the killer throughout the film due to the use of props and that you can't see a clear image of his face as he is wearing a mask suggesting he is a criminal. The smoke coming from the background onto the character suggests that theres been a fire of some sort which questions did he set the fire off. The use of the title being in red draws attention to the poster, also the use of colour symbolises blood or danger which is relevant to the genre of the film. They have also used a subheading which quotes that this film was created by the same produces for 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' therefore this will attract fans from that film to come and see Friday the 13th.
