This is the poster used for "The Wolf man" this film has a classification of 15 which is the same age we are going to aim ours at . This film poster is easy to interpret as the film is obviously about some sort of werewolf, i think the theme is more easy to interpret than the other film poster i have analysed "the messenger's" as the costume of the centre character gives it away more than the centre characters of the messengers as it was hard to tell what significance they had in the film without knowing the storyline. In this way i think this poster is more effective. This poster has a specific audience as well because there is always going to be those people are interested in this kind of theme as it is a character you commonly associated with evil whereas the messengers characters on the poster it was hard to see the type of characters they were.

I think the way the camera is showing a low angle shot of the character is effective as the trees are all pointing towards the centre, where the character is focusing the audiences attention on the character, highlighting his predominance and making him look very domineering. this positioning is emphasising this is a  film that is supposed to have a scary effect. Also the choice of colours backs this up, as in a lot of poster the main colours used are black, dark colours contrasted with the white of the text, also the characters shirt is white which has connotation of the character once being innocent but as the shirt is stained red obviously this has connoations of evil and that inncocence has been tainted. which is one of the themes that we are trying to put across in our poster as this is one of the themes of our film. In the poster we have created the title is red which connotes evil but there is nothing that makes it obvious that the child character is making a transition between being innocent to being the evil charcter.So i will have to try to edit it to look this way, a low angle shot might be the way to do this.
