Abraham Lincoln Vampire
Hunter Poster Analysis
The background of this movie poster is dark, misty and
eerie, thus establishes the genre of the film as being horror and also this shows
the film to be very secretive as it is set in darkness and fog which is a
common stereotype within films of a similar genre. Within this poster there are
many examples of mise-en-scene including clothing, as the man is seen to be
wearing a top hat and an old style black suit. This could tell us that this man
is of importance and is the main character within this film as the clothing he
is wearing represents smartness and importance. However the clothing the man is
wearing is also completely black, which has representations of death and
evilness. This fits in with the film’s title of “Vampire Hunter” which could
tell us that this man who we see on this poster is in fact the Vampire Hunter
which the film is about.
Also within the poster the man’s face is seen to be blacked
out by a shadow, this is done so the identity of the main character is kept
secret so people do not know what he looks like. This is done to try and make
people want to watch the film more as they will want to know who this man is.
This also makes the man look very mysterious and also dangerous which fits in
with what he is wearing and the fact that he is the Vampire Hunter featured
within the films title.
