Ancillary Task 2 - Poster 3

THE PURGE - THRILLER HORROR DRAMA CRIME

This movie poster is very different in design to the other posters I have looked at. The movie title is located in the bottom centre of the poster it however does not stand out due to the bold coverline located at the top of the page. The text of the movie title and coverline is very clear bold, easy to see and understand. A similarity to the others horror thriller movie posters would be that the name of the actors/actresses that feature in the film are no highlighted on the poster. The focus of this poster is the storyline rather than the actors. This is a very plain designed poster with a grey coloured background and bright bold text. There is no main image to attract the audience just a symbol and the bright text. REMINDER ALL EMERGANCY SERVICES WILL BE SUSPENDED is the main attraction on this poster. This is an interesting and unusual coverline grabbing peoples attention and making them want to research into what the film is about. This poster tells you a lot about the storyline rather than keeping it a secret the audience wants to find out. This poster persuades you to go and see the movie because you want to find out the effect of the storyline and how it all pans out.
