The analysis of picture " The Sinning"

If anyone saw this poster i guess everyone would think that it represents a thriller movie.The red title of the movie signifies that there is going to be blood, death and other horrible things.The picture shown gives a good explanation of what the film is about you see a psycho man on the left with an axe stuck in the door with a disturbing smile and you see the opposite on the right a scared woman with her mouth open screaming holding a small kitchen knife in front of her to protect herself.
 As i think the first think that shows us that it is thriller is the facial expression of both characters of the poster. We can see the mad face of the person standing of the left, The mad look with open mouth showing his teeth shows that he was chasing her and now he drove her into a corner. His eyes look like they are looking at her but the door is in the way and she is staring at the axe. From just the mans face the audience can tell he is insane from his eyes and mouth There is a big contrast between their weapons, he has a huge axe and she is holding a kitchen knife, this shows his advantage over her. We can see her horrified face with open mouth which shows that she is frightened to death.


The camera angle used is side on so you can see both rooms divided by the door this is effective as you can see both their reactions in one shot.  You get a close up of the man on the left and can see the woman on right in the background this shows the man is more dominant over the woman and also shows that the woman is weak and is hiding away from the madman. The poster shows that the man is the main focus of the film as it makes him out to be the killer and shows a close-up of his face.
