"Amusement" Poster Analysis




Text: Distressed, angled, relating to nature of the film, hung by what looks to be an imitation of a stretched piece of skin/cloth

Image: Dark mid shot, shot obeys rule of thirds, subject is a costume but gives the impression of eye contact
Background: simple, dark room, hanging pictures suggest basic living/working space

Colour: mainly red, yellow and black, carnival colours to reflect image

Selling Line: matches colour of text, line is mentioned in film, relates to image of clown

Reflection upon the plot: The image uses the costume worn by character "the laugh", and the background features the isolated area that the victims are chased through.  The colours and shadow show juxtaposition in the purpose of the film, as they are warm and the fading of the image into background suggest an unseen twist.  The text is displayed upon key horror iconography (sharp objects) and an important aspect of the film (the cloth/skin)
