"The Devil Inside"

• The horror poster above really stood out to me as it follows all the typical horror conventions successfully. For me, the picture stood out as it shows a nun with dull eyes and this shows signs of possession. This emphasises the type of movie it is which is obviously a paranormal due to the nun supposedly turning evil by a bad spirit. 
• The picture also clearly links with the title as the words "Devil Inside" are bigger, bolder and in capitals which emphasises what the film focuses on. 
• Moreover, the catch phrase "No soul is safe" is also in capitals which makes it stand out even more. This is done to attract the audience in to watching the actual film. 
• It also says "Inspired by true events" which shows the film is realistic and this makes it even more terrifying as the mystery of the 'unknown' scares a lot of people.
• Looking more closer at the picture, we can see that there is scratches at the background and this is effective as a horror poster because it reinforces the fact that the nun is possessed and she is trying to get out and be free which is impossible. 
• The colours used also makes the poster look scarier as the main theme is red, black and white. The red connotes blood, danger and death which may be portrayed in the actual film. 

By analysing the horror poster above, I am able to learn and develop typical conventions seen on a horror poster. This will prepare me for the poster that I am going to make when I get on to creating a horror trailer. I will also be more confident in knowing what makes a successful horror poster and what is more effective to have on there for example I have learnt that red is a vital colour to have as it holds many connotations that link to horror.
