Saw 6 website extra analysis

Here shows the name of the film, and the name of the website, the ‘w’ is not the normal sort of ‘w’ it is shaped like the end of a fork, which may result in stabbing, blood, death, torture, weapons, these are usually key  expectations/features for a horror film, this suggests that the film is going to be graphic and gruesome, this links to the images that are plotted around this room, for example, the blades, underneath this says now playing showing the film may have just came out, and is in cinema’s/on DVD so they can go see it or buy it if they are interested.

The flashing  red light on the wall usually signifies danger and fear, it may even show somebody is panicking, it is connected to the rest of the picture and may suggest somebody is being tortured, this could be linked specifically to the blades at the top of the website. 

On the walls are cobwebs, which suggests a really old room, which has not been cleaned or entered in a certain period of time. The glass bottle on the floor may suggest weapons, and violence, it may also suggest a sign of a drunk person, wandering into this chamber innocently and being caught in a trap that they may never get back out of.

 

The vent has smoke coming out from the gaps, suggesting, gas/smoke, it makes the building hazardous, it may create a suspicion for the audience that maybe something is being hidden, or there may be a fire, these a typical key features of the majority of horrors.
 

The blades on the saw VI website  represent a sign of  torture, which reinforces the genre  because it is the website of a horror film, and usually horror films have some type of abuse throughout the film
 

On the door to the open lift is a red swirl which may suggest "2 deaths door”, the red swirl could be made out of blood, suggesting never ending torture, as the swirl just carry's on going round and round. The lift is slightly open and you can see through the tiny gap, which inside contains, a couple of bright white lights, which may suggest ‘a light at the end of a tunnel’ which maybe means there is hope, the doors being slightly a jar may be s gin of the building be old and not visited regularly because they have not been fixed, it may also suggest a trap or danger.
 

The website gives a link to show where they can get tickets and gives the audience details of when the show times are and where, if the audience viewing the website are interested in seeing this film, they can click the link which will redirect them to another page showing further details that they would need to know.
 

It shows recommendation for another film, helping advertise a film that is also within the horror genre, to help build reputation for not only the saw VI film but for the film.
 

This website has been created using low-key ambient lighting, which reinforces the genre because usually horror films have dim lighting and in the majority of them they have dark rooms, where only certain key features can be seen.
 

This website uses a room that has a lift maybe suggesting that the lift leads to a chamber/dungeons, where the violence/torture usually occurs in horror films, chambers/dungeons may be blood stained from previous victims that have been caught and hurt.

Saw 2 Poster Analysis

To denote; this image shows a puppet like face, which may suggests something scary is going to happen within the film that is being advertised, the person on the poster has one eye that is red and the other you cannot see, he has a swirl on his cheek, the title has been scratched, and connects to the two fingers next to it because they could have been scratching to escape.

I have connoted that the key image is of the main protagonist, which is a scary dummy like figure because of the old plastic look, it is a close up high angle shot to show his features more clearly, his face a rusty yellow with a swirl of blood on his cheek , maybe to give the idea of never ending violence, as the swirl just carries on going round and round, and an abnormal eye with the deep colour of red, representing anger, his expression evil and angry, this gives the audience the impression that he is dangerous and is a sign of warning that the film may be scary, I think this because the red eye could signify violence, in the poster the picture is the enigma, the production company (twisted pictures) has used low-key ambient lighting, which is a spot lighting to the side of the face and used a dark screen/sheet behind to make the background and surrounding area around the object black/dark , this makes the face fade into the background , I think this creates an effect that makes the audience wonder what is next to the ‘face’ or what is happening behind it, this may suggest something mysterious.

The tagline “Oh…There will be blood.” suggests it will be a violent film and suggests it is within the horror genre and something bad is going to happen, it also shows what is in the film, and shows what everybody expects to see in a horror, which will make them want to see it even more, if they like horror films, (which is also known as ‘body genre’), I think this because the audience who are most likely to go and watch the film will have expectations that the film should meet, for them to enjoy it, and want to see the next films that follow it up if there is any, so the use of the word “blood” reassures people the film will be violent/dramatic and will fulfil their expectations of a good horror film.The title “Saw ll” has been shown as scratchesto create the lettering with two fingers positioned beside it, that look dirty and old with broken finger nails, which suggests someone/somethinghas been scratching to get out of a trap that they have been put in, it makes it seem like the person has ran out of energy to grab for objects to help get out of whatever they are stuck in, possibly a grave, which may suggest where the mud has come from, if you look closely at the bottom of the fingers, they look as if they have been cut off of the hand, but its not a straight cut, this may suggest another connection to the title “saw” and the fingers, for example, maybe the fingers have been cut off by a saw. The title “saw” can also be linked to another word “sore”, which shows a sign of pain and which yet again links back to there being violence in the film.

The target audience is recommended for 18 years of age and above and not below, the majority of the audience would probably be boys because they are the main audience for playing games for computers and consoles, and play violent games, which involves blood and weapons and because they play these kind of games they would possibly be into this type of film, whereas girls are not seen as much playing them type of games, the film is under the genre horror, and the genre is used to help people choose what kind of films they like and can relate to what is in the category. The chromatics are all co-ordinated with the red, yellow and black theme which keeps the poster together. It has low-key ambient lighting and it creates a dark effect around the face used on the poster, the face fades into the darkness and shows shadows on the face and makes it look more spooky. The old creases in the poster makes it look old, which gives it the stereotypical horror look. The Saw ll poster is a representation of the horror genre.

I would expect this poster to be shown in cinema’s and on billboards/places that are common for advertising, this is so people of that age rating ,know that it is on in the cinema’s or has been released on DVD and if they like the genre of film then they can decide whether they would like to see it, because it’s in the genre that may interest them.

Twisted pictures (production company) connotes the images they have used, which are twisted and grotesque, this helps give the idea of what the film is like, this may help people make the decision whether they would be able to watch the film or not.
