Final Destination is a Psychological horror film. The poster communicates the genre firstly because of the characters who are placed in the shape of a triangle, half of their face is normal and the other side is a skull, showing that they are alive but dead which is what the film is about. There all facing the audience with a neutral facial expression. The characters faces are made to look really dark as if they were fading away. Also the background is black with lightning bolts represent a gloomy night. The title of the film is ‘Final Destination’; this can indicate death is the last place for them, they are all said to be guaranteed death and that’s their ‘final destination’. The USP of the poster is the characters, there the biggest part of the poster, the 5 on the poster are the teenagers who got off the plane when the male at the front had a premonition that the plane will crash and what happens to them next makes them the USP. The colour scheme was red, white, black and blue, the font was in capital letter and bigger font was used were needed for example the ‘I’LL SEE YOU SOON’ was in small words underneath the name of the film as a cliff-hanger and also in another colour so that it could stand out. The tagline/slogan was ‘No accidents. No coincidences. No escapes. You can’t cheat death’, this attracts the audience to see what it means and shows there will be killings in the film and sets the audience up for it. The target audience is 15+ and is aimed at both males and females. Final destination represents age and gender.
