The Final Destination

Out of many films posters this is one of my favourites. The reason why it is one of my favourites is because it is eye catching and cleverly thought out. Skulls are quite common in horror films because it symbolises death, and this is a common theme in horror films.

The colours in the poster match the film theme very well, they use dark colours such as different shades of blue, white and black. Although these colours are quite calming there is also a dark side to them as well, because normally dark colours represent sad things and death. This film is about death and if you can cheat death so I think the colours go very well, this also links to why people wear black at funerals because they feel black represents sadness and loss.
From looking at the poster you can see that it is well thought out and attracts the audience. The cracked glass represents what happens in the film and how the characters die in the film. Also within the cracked glass we can see that there is a skull which again represents death. From the front cover we can see a strong theme of death running through it giving the audience a clue what the film could be about. The cracked glass also shows clips form the film drawing the audience in.
 Everything on the poster goes very well each other because the pull quote at the top 'Rest In Pieces' is shown through the cracked glass. Also from the pull quote we know that people in the film are going to die because normally we say 'rest in piece' but instead it's 'rest in pieces' which could mean the way the people die could leave them pieces.
