The main image is of the antagonist. This makes the person that sees it want to know more about that character, mainly because you can see his face but also because he is carrying the signature chainsaw.

The Headline has got the name of the film in plain text which increase the suspicion of the audience as they will want to know why the text is plain. Also it doesn’t draw attention from the main image, which is why this typography is used throughout.

The background is plain, because it you were to have a background to look at you would not pay as much attention to the main image. There are some small details on the image that are made to stand out by the background, such as the vapor coming off of his body. They will also be more likely to notice the small parts on the chainsaw, which are pieces of hair and blood.

The shot used for the main image is a direct address, to make the audience feel like the character is looking directly at them. This will bring empathy from them towards the victims in the film, or it will be like challenge to some people to watch the film and see if they would survive it.

The small paragraph below the title is the name of the actors and the companies involved. This is used to make people look closer at who is in the film. The very bottom line has got the date that the film comes out on it, this is put here so that people will read it closer and may take in more information than if they were just looking at it from a distance.

The main images are of the two main antagonists. This has got them both staring at each other, with the one on the left (Freddy) trying to intimidate the one opposite him (Jason). They have also got their own signature weapons entwined in the middle of the picture, showing that there is probably going to be some sort of fight or confrontation between the two of them.

The small paragraph at the bottom is a convention of most film posters and it says who is going to star in it and what companies are involved, plus some possible advertisement help such as a website that is run by the media department of the film. It may also have the date that the film is released.

The title is positioned in an unconventional place and they have put it in a way that shows which character is first. It has got the word ‘Freddy’ starting slightly left of the J on Jason, which suggests to the audience that is who is on the left and right respectively. It is positioned in a place that is similar to that of a boxing poster, which shows that the will be some kind of fight or battle. I have added a boxing poster that is similar to show my point.

The background is plain black to bring attention to both the text and the images into focus, it also adds the dark feel to the film, confirming that it is a horror. The black also allows the shine of the blade to be there and be much more prominent.

The main image of this magazine is of a girl in a wheel chair with a doll on her lap. This could be to show her innocence, but also you can see underneath the title she has got rope around her wrists, tying her to the armrest. This could be seen as a way to bring the doll into focus as he has got an evil grin and very animated blue eyes. The doll is also the only one with their whole face in the picture, which shows that he is the main character and the antagonist.

The title is written in red and has got a blood spatter on the bottom right of it. This is to show that the film is a horror slasher. The typography is relatively simple except that the “Y” has got a spike at the bottom again confirming that there will be some kind of pointy weapon that has a significance.

The background is plain white because it is used to bring attention to the thing with the stand out colours, this time it is the title, but usually it is the people. In the shot. The doll is the next thing that you would look at because it has got to have some rot of significance to the poster.

The positioning of everything in this poster is not conventional because the title is usually placed in the middle, towards the bottom, where as this title is right in the centre of the page, there is also not a little paragraph at the bottom saying who is in it, but there is a quote from somebody that could make the audience want to find out what they mean by it. The image is also a direct address but it doesn’t obey the rule of thirds, as it is in the left third instead of the centre where it conventionally is.
