Alright my next film poster I'll be researching and analyzing is the movie poster Smile.
Details: Smile Movie, directed by Parker Finn, released in 2022 staring Sosie Bacon in a psychological horror movie.
Conventions: Horror movie posters tend to be either dull or monochromatic color scheme, either fitting the plot or setting of the story. Most horror posters have 1-2 main colors, close-up shot on face.
Tropes: The close up shot of the face, usually giving context to certain parts of the film. In this case it gives us a horrifying smile that shows the main aspect/plot of the film.
Clichés: The scared woman in the poster cliché. Horror movies often have the ‘dumb’ one in the film as I mentioned in stage 3, but some posters tend to put this in the poster. E.g: “The Eye 2,” “Quarantine,” “Le Sang Des Innocents”.
Takeaways: This poster is also very simplistic but gives the
exact amount of information needed for the movie. Its horrifying and the plot
is left to develop. It doesn’t give away much, just enough for this film. Another thing I like about this specific poster is the placement of the log line and how effective it is.
