I am analysing a poster for a film called ‘V/H/S’, although poster
is minimalistic, it still portrays quite a lot to the viewer. The first thing
that is noticed when looking at the poster is the way the videos are aligned to
show the shape of a skull. All the videos are in old, worn boxes, and the dates
on the white videos are all hand written, some in different coloured ink, this
shows the viewer that the owner of the videos is an ordinary person, which
could lead the viewer to feel uneasy and think that the owner of all of these
videos could be anyone. Most of the poster is black and white; the only colour
that stands out is the red “V/H/S” in the bottom centre of the poster. This shows
that it is the title of the film as it is the second-most-eye-catching element
on the poster.
The text “This collection is killer” shows that the videos
are related to death and the victims of the villain in this film. This is
reinforced by the skull the videos are arranged in. The fine print at the
bottom of the poster does not have as much in it as all the other posters I
have analysed, which shows me that this is the first film the producers have
made, or that their name isn’t very big yet so they cannot get any bigger
companies to fund them.
