The 3 film genres are: action thriller, horror and comedy
Costumes: the costumes from each film differ from one another. The costumes shown in each poster show what the film is about and what type of genre it could possibly be. For example in the poster for Swat, the character is wearing armed police uniform, which straight away tells us that the film will include scenes from law enforcement, as the costume includes a helmet, a pistol holster, a bullet proof vest with swat embroidered in the back, elbow pads and a tactical overall. This shows us that the genre could be action as law enforcement are involved in a lot of crime, and swat units are called in when things get too hard for normal law enforcement to handle. The audience may also think that the genre could include a parts which are tense which are shown in thriller films, as law enforcement officers come under a lot of situations which are thrilling and tense. This poster differs significantly to the poster of the Hills have eyes 2. We aren't shown much of the costumes in this poster, as in horror movies the costumes normally get ruined anyways due to the scenarios which the characters are put under. The costumes tend to be the same anyways in each horror movie, with the characters having normal clothes to try and relate to the audience and show them that these things happen to normal people like themselves to scare them more. The costumes shown in scary movie 3 include a variety of different costumes as there is a range of characters in the movie, but the main focus of costumes are clothes which older teenagers would wear so the movie can relate to the chosen target audience.
Lighting-
The character shown in the Swat poster is put in low key lighting, maybe to indicate the dark pressures he is put under during the film, but the rest of the poster is in high key lighting as there has been an explosion, once again giving away part of the genre of the movie as an explosion indicates that scenes of action will be present.however the name Swat on the bullet proof vest is in high key lighting to make it clear for the audience to read the name of the film.The lighting for the Hills Have Eyes 2 is low key lighting to indicate the dark creepy gore seen in this film, but it is in a darker contrast to give a greater sense for the setting of the film which is in a desert.There is high key lighting used in the final poster so we are able to see all of the characters expressions in the poster which will make us laugh as we can see what each character is doing as well relating to the genre of the movie.
Actors-
The actor shown in the Swat poster seems to be a young middle aged man walking away from the audience into the explosion. We cant really see his face or front figure but we can see that he is walking tall showing that he is brave as he walks into the explosion.The same is for the hills have eyes 2 as we cant really see the actors present in the movie, but it seems that the person on the floor being dragged along is a female. There is a range of famous actors in scary movie 3, as this series of films is very famous so the audience would be expecting a great range of well known actors. The age range of the actors is quite large as well maybe to relate to a greater audience range.
Make up-
There is no make up used for Swat as we cant see the characters face.The same is for the hills have eyes 2 poster as the characters are in the distance so we don’t really focus on their face.however there is a great deal of make up used for Scary movie 3 so we can see their facial expressions clearer, and so that they stand out in the poster.
Props-
For Swat, the use of law enforcement material like gun holsters, helmets, bullet proof vests and a rifle itself are used to give away the genre of the film. The prop used in the second poster is a rope tied to one character on the floor with the other dragging them along. This gives away the genre of the poster as scenes like these are shown in horror movies: a person dragging someone with a rope tied to their head across a desert. In the scary movie 3 poster, there is a great deal of props used to relate to the narrative within the movie, for example the video tape held by the girl is used to relate to the film ‘The ring’.
Setting-
The setting for the first poster is in a city as we can see tall sky scrappers and buildings. The setting for the second poster is a desert, which gives away some of the genre as well as most abductions shown in the poster take place in deserts where no one else is there to help. The setting for the last poster is in a cinema theater, just like scary movie 1 and 2. This shows they don’t want to stop the flow of the poster shown in the other 2 previous movies in the series.
