Final Destination 3 Film Poster Analysis



· The poster of Final Destination 3 poster uses a rollercoaster as the main basis of the horror, something generally regarded as safe.
· The colour pallet of the poster uses dark and monotone colours such as blood red for the rollercoaster.
· There is a subtle hint of foreshadowing in the poster, as some passengers at the back have skulls for faces, which implies the theme of death and horror.
· The passengers are upside down on the rollercoaster, which is an unnatural position to be seen in and would make the audience uncomfortable to see.
· The use of the pun “This ride will be the death of you” underlies the notion that these passengers are to die from riding this rollercoaster.
· The use of the second person pronoun “you” involves the audience and makes them feel part of the passengers from the poster, making the audience feel more uncomforted at the thought of dying from a rollercoaster ride.

Conventions from this poster we will be using in our poster:
- Billing block
- Eye catching title
- Scary central image
- Tag line
