Outsider



This poster indicates you a horror genre of the film, this is because you can tell by the colour that poster has (dark colour such as black). It also include billing block at the bottom of the poster this is because it shows the credit of the film. It has a picture of a road which matches with the title of the film 'Outsider' because the road shows someone coming from different place and it has no traffic because again it means that the person who will arrive will be unknown to everyone. It has a tagline 'See things you don't' which is used for marketers and film studios to advertise and sell the film, how ever this creates excitement to its target audience. In the poster it also gives you hint of the characters such as who's the unknown person is on the left side of the poster. However theory of Barthes  come in that narrative is interwoven with multiple codes. As we look at this poster this may refer to the hermeneutic (mystery) enigma code because the story of not fully explained and its hold back to increase the effect of the final revelation of all code. It also show the action code because it builds interest and suspense by looking at a angry character face.

In this film their will be group of friends going away on a holiday. They are friends from college and celebrating together of finishing college. The name of the characters are James, Steven, Laura, Sammy and Mark. The props that may include in the film are Games console such as psp because the boys like playing games and this will show their what character type they are. We also need  mp3 because the girls will be into music and there also will be use of mobile phones during the film scenes. As I have explained the features on the poster which shows its a horror film, I will look forward to use the sound during the film which will grab the audiences attention.
