Poster deconstruction: Prom Night

When creating a poster we looked at different styles and found a relatable poster to deconstruct in order to correctly put together a successful poster. We looked at the 'Prom Night' poster and its elements which gave the audiences affects and suggestions about the film.


  •        Bright element’s to draw attention, such as white aspects or red writing.
  •      Palette colour represents horror – red, white, grey, black
  •   Not seeing the whole picture or what is happening but showing something understandable – a woman screaming or shouting.
  •      Red title – blood, passion, evil.
  •      Dark background to make it stand out more
  •     Neat font, good size, draws attention to the title but doesn't distract audience from the picture.
  •     Juxtaposition of the tiara which represents beauty and glamour which are normally seen with happiness and joy, and the expression of the woman’s face which is fear.
  •      Position of the tiara and her messy hair shows distress or violent struggle.
  •   Her eyes are not shown, meaning the audience are more focused on the connotations of fear and her mouth which represents fear as an emotion.
  •     The picture takes up the majority of the picture, especially the mouth, which shows the importance of the emotion of fear which will surround the film.
