Conventions of Genre - "Texas Chainsaw 3D"


  • Negative colour theme
  • Red worn font, (red symbolises blood)
  • Mise-en-Scene - Sinister costume and body language
  • Blurred background and central image
The similarities of this poster compared to the others are clear, it has the typical muted negative colour themes, which most, if not all horror posters have. It also has distorted worn font, like other posters I have analysed in the past. The main convention on the poster is the dominant central image, this clearly shows what kind of film Texas chainsaw 3D is, if you hadn't already guessed by the title of the film. A difference between this poster and the others is that this is an old film, which has been brought back to cinema, to be shown in a 3D format, what this means is that the poster doesn't have to be special, (sell the film), as it already has an audience. It even could have just been a teaser poster and just had the name of the film and 3D next to it due to the existing audience and fans.
