within this move poster straight away it is clearly conoted to the audience that 'Scary Movie' is a spoof film consisted of mocking former scary/thriller films. The informal poster in which the characters are situation within a cinema denotes to the audience that this will be not normal thriller movie. It incudes some ordinary conventions of a thriller movie poster, we can see this as a spoof/mocking cult sign is shown above the movie title, similar to which is seen in 'The Blair Witch Project'. Within the poster, a character is dressed in a 'Scream' costume, this conotes to the audience that this will be a scary movie, but how we see the character situated next to a woman on the phone and also holding a bag of popcorn, this foreshadows to the audience that however it will be a parady of a scary movie. This shows that is has tried to reflect many conventions of an 'ordinary' horror film poster
The excessive use of the colour black, as seen at the bottom of the poster, in the background and being the colour od the cloak the character of scream is wearing, and the excessive use of the colour red, as seen by the big movie title, the cinema seating and also the release date, these colours are steryotpically used within conventions or horror film posters.
Although this use of red and black are also used within bright colours such as the green dress, and lighting on the characters, this could conote and foreshadow to the audience that they are trying to mix comedy within a horror genre.
