When A Stranger Calls - Poster Analysis



I think this poster is very plain but it does actually represent then film in a good way. The standard colours of reds, blacks and whites have been incorporated – these conventions are something I will consider when doing my film poster
This poster doesn’t give much away about the film, its is quite an ambiguous picture, leaving the audience to let there imagination wonder what it is about. But this minimalistic approach doesn’t leave the audience with an impression, there are no dominant features which allow the audience to remember it.   
The scariest thing about this poster is definitely the picture on the phone, mobile phones are used in todays society very frequently so using it in a menacing way is a good ironic way of portraying horror. The hand in this photo has been edited – it has been made more grim and dirty, this could be to represent the uncleanliness of the film.
