Brief overview of 3 deconstructions on the film posters of 'RED STATE'. The posters were chosen due to their clear motifs and link to biblical religion. From analysing the 3 images, a few key characteristics from all of the posters are clear to be seen:
Symbolism: each contains the iconic biblical cross image in the centre of the picture. The cross is the main dominant focus and where the audience's eyes are drawn to first.
Colour scheme: red, black and white conform to the codes and conventions of a horror film. In this instance, red can be linked and associated with hell, satanism and death.
Clear typography: 'RED STATE' is featured in capital letters in each of the posters. The cross draws eyes towards the title at the bottom of the page. The simple, understated look to the font makes it stand out and captivates the audience's attention.
Overall, there are a few elements to each of the posters which we can draw inspiration from. One of which is the 'upside down' cross featured in the first poster. This gives a twist to the iconic symbol and could create a unique identity and motif for our teaser trailer.
