'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Movie Poster Analysis

‘I know what you did last summer’ is a film from the horror genre. That we can see from the poster that is mainly dominated with colors that represent blood/murder, innocence and darkness (red, white, black). We can see the 4 main characters of the movie on the poster and the killer. The 4 characters on the poster are coming out of the shadows into the white bright light which could connote a dark shadowy past left behind and an innocent present, or the truth coming out. The slogan of the film on the poster is positioned next to the picture of the killer, and so we know that it’s about him- ‘If you’re going to bury the truth, make sure it stays buried’.  The killer is in the dark and we cant see his face, but we can see the hook in his hand, from which we assume that he is the killer, the red light and the red mist on him also connotes this further as it’s the color of blood. The expressions on the main characters faces show that they are scared and worried, and 3 of them are also looking towards the side where the killers picture is placed, which shows what caused those expressions. One of the characters is looking straight, and that could say that maybe he wasn’t aware of the killer until he killed him, this we can also use in our production poster as we have a character that doesn’t know he is going to die or that a killer ghost is chasing him.

At the top of the poster we see text that says: ‘from the writer of ‘scream’’, in red. This is to attract more people for the audience of this movie, as a reference to the writers previous movie is made which aims to attract loyal scream fans to watch this movie if they enjoyed that one.

Overall the poster is very horror movie like and has the right content to show the audience of what the movie is about.

Poster Description

'Run Hard' Poster
The poster for our short film was inspired by the poster of the movie 'Shank'. We liked the idea of main characters running from a gang towards us, as it tells us the story of the film. We also liked the outline of a person in one of the letters of the title - 'Shank'.
Our poster will have all of our main characters in it, and their closness/size in the poster is going to be correspond to their role in the movie and their survival time in the short film. The protagonist is going to be biggest and closest, then we are going to have the other two further away. The ghost is going to be incorporated in our movie title 'Run Hard' in the letter A. The title is going to be placed at the top of the poster and in the middle.This is going to look as if the ghost is in the background and is the thing who our characters are running from. We want the poster to look like the chase, which is the main theme of our short film.
The background is going to look as spooky as possible,dark with mist, and grave stones. We are going to have a red can next to one of the gravestones as that is what starts the chase in our short film. A tree in the background with a crow sitting on it is going to asdd to the spooky factor of the poster. We are also going to have a full moon that is behind the tree, that is going to signify a nightmare that has come true.
The facial expresion of our characters is going to show their view to this situation, which will be not bothered, scared and brave. One of the characters is going to be caught jumping over a fence as he is running away from the ghost, as that is going to show the other genre of the filom which is action.
The name of the actors is going to be placed above the title of our film, and the slogan at the bottom of the film poster. The colour of the film title is going to be white.

Questionnaire Analysis

We gave our questionnaire out in the class which was beneficial because we were able to generate ideas about our film from our fellow media students. The chart shows a higher percentage of females which makes the questionnaire biased because it could lead to the stereotype less people liking action/horror.

This chart shows that most of the students that took part in our questionnaire preferred either horror or action as a genre. These preferences are typical of a male audience because of the portrayal of masculinity.

This chart shows that a large number of the class preferred mixed genres. This is a benefit to our group because our film is a mixed genre and we want the audience to enjoy our film.

We thought long about a suitable name for our film and we discovered the majority of our class  liked the name of our film which encouraged us to make a brilliant film because we felt supported by our class mates

Similarly to the chart on ‘favourite genres’ this chart demonstrates that we make a good decision on making our film a mixed genre of action and horror.

Our class was mainly 17-18 year olds which favourable for our group because our short movie appeals to a teenage audience.
