Detailed Horror Poster Analysis

 

The colour pallet used in this poster is mostly black, red and grey. This creates the effect of mystery and fear.
Red could be a symbol of blood, violence and fear.
Black could be a symbol for death, again violence and darkness.
Grey could mean misery, mystery and terror.

The text used for IT changes colour when the clowns 'name' is mentioned, this makes the poster that tiny but more frightening.

The image is of the clown 'IT' (also known as pennywise), personally i think the clown would draw people to the movie more than if there was a doll on the cover. I think this because a lot more people are afraid of clowns and would want to see it.

Common Colours:
  • Red - Red makes me think of blood, horror, death and roses.
  • Black - Black makes me think of death, darkness, night, thunder and funeral.
  • Grey - Grey makes me think of rainy days, dark clouds, being depressed and dullness.
  • White - clouds, light, ghost, weddings and stars.

    Some good points regarding colour connotations, well done.
    Target: Write about the main image e.g. what is it a shot of? Why does it fit the horror genre? Why will it attract the target audience to the film?

    Main target for your target sheet: Write more about the connotations of imagery.

BBC School Report Evaluation

Evaluation. Who did you work with in a group? What was your role? I was working with Charlie and Rebekah, and my role was to interview Ricky. What story ideas did you research? We were thinking of doing something about the LGBTQ+ community, but decided against it. Which story idea did you use for your main story? Bodmin Riding and Heritage Day. What was the hardest part of creating a TV news story and why? The hardest part was trying to find the right dates to interview Ricky, and writing the scripts. Do you think your story followed professional conventions? Yes it did, it was a real professional interview and everything said was fact (unless stated). What do you like about your story? I like our story because i think its relevant and interesting, not a lot of people would know about this sort of thing so its teaching people a lesson. If you have to make another TV news story in the future what would you do diff...

Successful Interview Techniques

Successful interview techniques. Listen. From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace. Don't talk too much. Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements and relating only that information. Don't be too familiar.   The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the inter...
