- Name of high profile actor runs along the top of the poster
- Low angle shot of city – inferior and vulnerable
- 'your mind is the scene of the crime’ – personal pronoun your – direct register and mode of address involves audience
- Gun - violence and action
- Deep water suggests natural disaster - enigma
- Lots of shades of blue – conventions of thriller and fantasy.
- Low key lighting – dark messages
- Golden rule – buildings either side capture your attention and guide you down to the centre/title of the film.
- Actor with back to camera – mystery and enigma
- Main image of face - Chiaroscuro lighting – contrast between light and dark on face adds mystery
- Large main image of face along with name above title this is the main actor
- Simple tag line, enigma and suspense
- Bright lighting around flame – danger and harm
- Isolated Island – psychological thriller/horror because of entrapment
- Low key lighting – enigmatic
- Stormy/ Rain – pathetic fallacy – reflects mood of the film
- Limited narrative
- Red title – danger , blood – another colour used commonly in thrillers. Worn/scratched font matches image of worn/old building on island
- Double exposure of image hints genre by replacing mind with city landscape – in his mind = psychological. Monster = horror/thriller
- Neutral colours subverts to common conventions of thrillers
- Golden rule – eyes drawn to city landscape above head as it is unusual and stands out for this reason
- No tag line – subverts to film poster conventions
- Sepia tones along with expressionless face – emotionless and basic
- Contrast between dark and light, psychological contrast between good and bad.
- Title – N italicised – reflects how things that look ordinary can have something wrong with them that you don’t notice.
- Overall, I have found that it is important to follow the golden rule to capture the audiences attention and ensure an equal amount of attention is paid to each area of the product
