The Woman in Black

The Woman in Black- Daniel Danger

The Woman in Black is the haunting story of a lawyer who travels to a village where he finds a bitter ghost is haunting the locals.

The colour Daniel has used in his image is very fitting as the blue creates a sinister atmosphere and a chilling feeling. I think it is appealing that he has used silhouettes to highlight the ghosts- it creates a feeling of ambiguity and no emotion. 

The central focus of the image is the front door of the house and the main character; they are highlighted by the light and also by the detail shown on the house. This detail allows a kind of depth of field where the characters in the foreground are shown out of focus and the background is shown in focus and very detailed.  The perspective is interesting as it gives an outsiders view as if we are watching the turn of events, which is accurate as we are the audience for the film. 

The central location of the house and the character suggests that they are the key elements in the film and also that it is quite enclosed- it has the feeling of being trapped. I think that this poster may be more understandable after you have seen the film as you realise who the surrounding people are.  

I think that Daniel has used the faded text to make the image itself more prominent rather than the name of the film; the image explains the film. It is also quite a ghostly looking font, which fits in well with the theme of this film. 

I think the poster is very effective as it is clear in showing what the film is about and the atmosphere is creates.
