Torture Porn
Here, is the poster that was used when analysing the horror poster of Saw. Saw has the sub-genre of horror thriller. It contains aspects of horror thriller. The main character has an unsettling mindset, which could therefore give the viewer an idea that the film may be gory or gruesome. The poster however, we can see decaying limbs. They have lost their flesh-like color which could portray the loss of blood, therefore representing death. Further analysis shows that the toes on the decaying foot look severed.
The use of a white background could represent cleanliness and purity.The white background also makes the limbs a main focal point. At the top of the poster, we can see a picture of a saw. This is a clear indication and representation of the film name. As a viewer, we can only suggest that the saw is the weapon that is used to sever its victims. The title 'Saw' is slightly off-center and is in a deep red font. Almost like its representing blood. The lines or slashes that run through and around the title look like cuts that may be inflicted on its victims. Overall from this poster we can see a clear indication of decapitation and death. We can see that it relates to the genre horror and can only suggest that it is going to be very gruesome due to the extremity of the pictures incorporated.
