We as a group decided to do more research on religious thriller/horror looking towards the conventions within the theatrical posters and how we can either emand it towards our own poster or follow the similar ones that shows repetition for the denotations even if it conveys different connotations.
Stigmata released in 1999
In this film poster we see that the main colours are white and red, which seems to be a continuing convention for horror. The darker the better would be a plausible answer to why richer tones like maroon are used and then white is there to strike out what important information you want the audience to pay attention to. In this case that would be the title, tag line and release date, all essential components to what makes an successful horror poster.
There is also a connotation in this image combined with the tagline 'The message is here' with the person being crucified looking up towards the text, this is extremely clever and to be taken into much consideration when making the final draft of that anchillary text.
