Movie Poster Analysis: Friday the 13th

This poster is very basic and simple, but you get told so much about the film and the genre. The poster shows the outline of a person, creating a silhouette. The person is holding an axe which has blood dripping odd the blade. This tells the audience a lot about what the film will entail and showing the blood an gore that will be in the film.

On the body is written the title of the film in a bold, contrasting font. The title is written in full capital letters, making it stand out to the audience. On top of that, the font is white on a black background, making it very eye catching. The writing takes up half of the poster making it very obvious to the audience. The words "PART 2" are red as if covered in blood, suggesting the film will be full of blood and gore moments. Under the silhouette is written "The body count continues..." suggesting that lots of people will die in this film, and that the number of deaths will rise from the first film.

Along the bottom of the poster are all the small details such as actors, directors and film companies such as paramount. On the bottom left there is also the age rating so that the audience know the rating.
