The Blair Witch Project film poster analysis - task 2 (poster)

From the effect of the picture it seems to be in a negative effect, presenting us with only black, white and grey colours. This gives a distorted reversal veiw of the forrest. This adds to the supernatural mise en scene of a forrest, seeing as forrests are ususally associated with many myths, such as werewolfs, vampires and ghosts, this effct links in with the super natural associaion as it seems very distorted, showing that it is not normal forest foreshadowing that something thrilling and outside of the ordinary may happen in this film.
And within the picture a symbol is shown above 'The Blair Witch Project' which may signify satanic, cult ideas of the movie emphasisng the horror thriller genre of the film, this is also shown many times within the trailer showing emphasis on the cult thriller genre of the film.
Also within the poster the words 'A year later their footage was found' this denotes to the audience that something supernatural may have happened to the characters within th film, already giving away sme on the story line to rope the audience in. Using this also makes the film seem like a failed doctumary giving the film mundane realism, this adds to the thriller theme of the poster and film. 
Also the writing on the poster gives away background information to the audience creating a back story for the audience, some information is given but not all, or enough to creat and perfect picture, this leads the audience to create a psychopathc thriller within their minds.
when creating my movie poster i will be using some aspects of this poster as the parody we will be making will feature all conventions of scary movie spoofs but will be based around the film of 'The blair witch project'.
