"Room 107" is a thriller short film which is displayed within the film poster. As you can see, the red lettering connotes blood and is a typical convention of the genre. It also portrays a sense of danger and and fear. The position of the title is towards the right which is in line with the sentence below, it all fits well and is clear. The font is slightly unusual as it is supposed to symbolise blood because it looks as though it is dripping down the dark background. The background is mysterious and creates enigma around the character which is is typical for a thriller film poster. However, there is a bright light at the top which creates a reflection throughout the poster. The female character's face is lit up so she stands out for the audience. The female is purposely positioned at the left side of the poster so that the right side is in darkness and she is the main focus point of the frame. Her white dress symbolises innocence and purity which is juxtaposed by the thrilling and obscure mood within the poster. In addition, the position of the character also suggests that she may possibly be the victim in this short film as she is in a vulnerable position and we can see that her facial expression shows that she is unhappy and afraid. The text next to the female expresses that it is a thriller genre and makes the audience think about what the poster mean. This is purposely done to attract the audience because they will want to find out more. There is not much in the way of props around the character as she seems to be in a dark room which conveys a sense of being trapped. We, as the audience, focus on the female and the statement next to her. At the top of the poster it includes the names of the actors which are in white, small lettering which is typical of any poster including feature film. However, there is not a large credit block unlike other posters I have researched which shows that it may be a slightly lower budget film, it has focused more on the image than the conventions of a short film poster. I like the idea of having one character in the frame and using the technique of lighting as it has a great effect on the audience and is very effective. For my short film poster, I will definitely use lighting and make the whole poster quite dark and gloomy.
