The Crazies

The first impression i get from this particular poster is a sense of mystery and killer instinct in a human relating to the name of the film, "The Crazies". The use of dull dark colours of the image gives the reader a grim feeling in relation to what events occur in the film it self or give a feeling of no hope and represents death. The background colours allow title "The Crazies" to stand out where the audiences attention will be first brought. The bold red colour use for the title gives the idea of blood and danger which has correlation to pitchfork used in the image which we assume is used for hunting giving from the term, "Grab your pitchforks and torches"  but hunting our own kind would sound inhuman which links back to the title "The Crazies" giving the whole idea of the film a surreal feeling.

The main priority i believe this poster has is the image used in relation to the text, suggesting how humans can become this idea of the being part of "The Crazies" The text is placed at the bottom right of the poster which is different from allot of other posters, however knowing that a person automatically reads from left to right it allows the audience to take in the image and further more ask question about the relation the text has towards the image used. I believe this effect suggest civilisation going corrupt giving the title "The Crazies".
