The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Full Analysis.

  The Texas Chainsaw Masscre title gives us the audience an idea of what the film is going to be focused about by the name, the key word chainsaw automatically tells us that, that is going to be the main weapon used throughout the film and the word ‘Massacre’ which means the slaughtering of people tells us that people are going to die throughout the film by this potential weapon, however as well as this being a strong title it does not reveal who gets killed and why they are killing them. The main image of the poster reveals a side of a face, the face does not reveal that much, as it is dark. This creates a sense of enigma and mystery as the viewers of the poster do not know who that is. The use of black within the poster reveals the genre to be quite dark and scary, the first impressions with the title imply that the film is going to be a Horror or Thriller.

  On the movie poster, in the centre of the page we are able to see the name ‘Michael Bays’ this is conventional for it to be centre of the page as it draws the readers attention to the poster. This is also the unique selling point, as he is a popular movie star. The movie poster only reveals one main movie actor, so this could make the audience wonder if any other major actors will be within the movie, but the main names tend too all appear on the movie poster to attract the audience. On the poster you aren’t able to see Micheal Bays only a small photo graph which is in sepia and quite blurred and does not reveal any characters in great detail. The most detailed image is the face at the top of the poster which take up half of it which also doesn’t reveal any great facial features.

   On the poster you are not able to see any major tag lines or sell lines, making the poster more mysterious!
