Analysis of The Shining - Charlie



This is a film Poster from 'The Shining' which is a famous psychological horror from 1980 directed by Stanley Kubrick. 

The shining does not show many conventions of a sterotypical film poster but becasue of the way that it presents themes of a psycological horror it makes it a affective and eye catching advertisement. I have chosen to analyse this film poster becuase it is from a famous film so it is very well known. Althought this certain film poster looks simple, it give the audience a sense of what is to come in the film.

The face in the poster looks crazy which is what we hope to portray when we make our film poster becuase the genre of the film can be shown to the audience without having to have too much actual text. The main part of the film poster is a well known iconic part of the shining which draws the audience in and makes them interested in what is going to happen.

The writing is bold which draws in the audience. Having the text at the bottom works well because it makes the title and director clear and noticeable. Part of the text is in red which represents danger and blood. 

overall this film poster for "the shining" is well made and has some good features that conform to the horror genre.
