Poster Research: Alien

This is the promotional poster for the film Alien, this poster is a very powerful promotional ploy in the way it presents itself, it lets a small caption and a large central image speak for the entire film as it directly addresses the audience.

As well as this it shows alot of eggs hatching at the bottom of the screen, with a dark green glow over the top of them, this is another typical colour of the horror genre, as well as this there are a large amount of them, this gives the audience a fear of the unknown as these unspecified creatures are hatching and are in large number, this plays of the human fear of invasion and is a strong way of addressing a horror movie audience.
