The Abandoned

This poster reminds me of the loss of innocence. The porcelain doll, is a symbol of childhood, but becasue it is shattered and cracked it shows broken child hood. They have used colour to specifically draw your eye to the eye with a tear of blood. This image also connects with the title 'abandoned' becasue there is often a theme when people move out of a house there is a doll or toy left behinhd that gradually builds up dust.

Autopsy
This is a very modern film poster by keeping the backgroud white it focuses the attention on the legs and text, it also is a signifier of the clean sterile setting of the hospital. When i first looked at this poster initially i didn't notice that the legs were cut off, so it allows the audience to look closer and examine the poster more seriously. However, when looking at this poster it has a slight comedic feel which may suggest it is a spoof rather than just a horror.


Saw III
This poster is the from the third film in the Saw series. Similarly to the Autopsy poster is uses a white background, however, the bottom of this poster uses darker tones that do not give promote the idea of the setting being sterile. The saw at the top of the poster, is used to create an uncomfortable feeling in the audience, it's rusty and dirty, which is clearly nothing you want to be associated with removing teeth, which is linked at the lower third of the poster. This creators of this poster has specifically used Golden section to hint to the audience the conventions of this film.
