The Woman In Black Poster Analysis


The Woman In Black poster is a very good poster that clearly resembles the film. It has a massive image of Daniel Radcliffe which personally I think is the unique selling point. The image takes up half of the poster which shows that the poster creator wants you to notice that it is Daniel Radcliffe or as the audience know him as ‘Harry Potter’ The film was a 12a so I think they were aiming on bringing all of the fan’s from the Harry Potter film’s into this to maximise profit. If the Woman in black was a 15 they wouldn’t get all the fans from the Harry Potter films. In the image Daniel Radcliffe looks scared and worried. Towards the back of the poster there is the main house from TWIB. The house is towering over a man who I think is Daniel Radcliffe because he is holding a suitcase and looking towards the building. He is all in black which could show resemblance to the ‘woman in black.’ The significance of the massive house in front of Daniel Radcliffe was the fact that the house is a massive building and it shows what’s more to come and it’s what Daniel Radcliffe least expects. There is what looks like a storm over the house and thunder shows destruction. When there’s Thunder all your sense’s can notice, for example you can hear and see it so you will know about it. The font suits the poster well because the poster is deteriorated and can symbolise the woman in black. Daniel Radcliffe’s name is in a different font and is across the top of the poster which could show dominance of the film. The font that is placed along the house is quite hard to read and ironically says what did they see. This is because you don’t see the woman in black well you only see her for a brief looking.
