Deconstructions - Posters

Following my problem with Flickr that I detailed in my previous blog post, I had to reconstruct my deconstructions for my website homepages and posters. I will do so using a mixture of voice memos, text and video footage.

Poster deconstruction #1

The first deconstruction I have decided to complete is a poster of Sorority Row, a text that is very relevant to my product for several reasons:

Below is a deconstruction of this piece as a voice memo via Sound Cloud, followed by a further deconstruction in text form:


The image itself bears a slight sepia tone tinge, allowing the image to take a darker look and feel. I will experiment with sepia tone and other colour effects when editing my poster to construct the freaky feel this way. Sepia tone tints are relatively typical to horror film texts and the reasoning for using so could perhaps to follow this convention. 

The title in this poster appears at the bottom of the poster and in white. The significance of the title being in white, allows it to stand out from the rest of the poster. In contrast to the darker colors, white connitates purity and innocence which, when clashing with the darker can suggest the connitations of evil and terror have corrupted this innocence. 

Poster Deconstruction # 2

The Conjuring

Below is a deconstruction of this piece as a voice memo via Sound Cloud:


Poster Deconstruction #3

Insidious

 
Below is a deconstruction of this piece as a voice memo via Sound Cloud, followed by a further deconstruction in text form:

 
Alongside the review is given a star rating, the fact the film has been rated five starts emphasizes the excellence of the film further encouraging those who are perhaps slightly unsure of whether to see the film, to go and view it.

The boys eyes have been fizzled out with a lightening/white effect indicating to the audience that the sub-genre of the text is possession as this hints that the boy has been possessed. This will attract those who are interested in this type of horror as the sub-genre is easily identified.
