The Others
Genre: Horror
Sub Genre: Psychological Horror
Target Audience: Teenagers and young adults
Key Signifiers: The imagery of the poster and title font show that it is a horror as it shows the protagonist surrounded my darkness with a lamp highlighting her facial expression. She seems to be gasping or in extreme shock of something. The ghostly effect on the title font emphasises the fact that this horror could potentially be about ghosts.
In Time
Genre: Thriller
Sub Genre: Action, Sci-fi Thriller
Target Audience: Male teenagers and young adults
Key Signifiers: The imagery of the poster. For example the gun in the image signifies there is going to be some violence, making it a thriller. The digits on Justin Timberlake's wrist demonstrates science-fiction and the intense look on both actor and actress's faces shows there is bound to be some sort of action in the film. The background of the image is gloomy and dark signifying some sort of doom. The fact that a male and female are on the cover could highlight the fact that there may be a romantic element.
