Fangoria Magazine Front Cover Analysis

05:18

This is a horror film magazine called Fangoria featuring the film Insidious. The masthead of the magazine instantly gives away the genre of the films featured in the magazine.

Horror Film Poster Analysis: Insidious

02:31

Insidious Poster Analysis Main Image - From what is presumed to be the main character, the poster has used a medium shot to indicate this. You can see a house behind this character which indicates that this is where the character lives and where most of the plot's main events will be set around.

This is because I could alter the lighting in whatever way I wanted. I have no issues with the overall outcome of my footage however, the fake blood that...
