Infected

This film poster of 'Infected' shows a close up image of half a persons face which has been edited and seems to be a surreal image. The inside of the eye has a black background which suggests there is nothing behind it and shows the person have no personality or any significance as it his character is unclear through this image. It is even unclear if this human is a male or female which adds on to the whole mystery behind this person. The symbol inside the eye may represent a symbol or clue in the film, which the black background helps to stand it out. The symbol may be a sign of danger or a warning to something bad as it seems to be a very tribal, evil symbol. This reflection is strengthened with the scars and scratches on his face which shows pain and violence which has been done upon this person. Highlighting something bad will be happening in the film suggesting some sort of torture. This clearly represents the genre of the film, which would be a horror movie.

The title of the film is 'Infected' this highlights there is some sort of infection or disease going around which may be the cause of this destroyed face. The font used is also significant as it seems to be dissolving at the edges and fading away which may reflect the person with the disease which due to the torture is rotting away and may be leading to a death. It has been placed at the bottom therefore leaving space at the top empty to emphasis the deep scars and scratches on the forehead.

The tag like used is "how can you kill what is a part of you" this is a very strong, powerful phrase which causes the audience to think about what this could mean, creating stories in their heads to try and work it out. It may suggest the person is living with this type of infection which they want to get rid of however they can not kill it or get away from it as it is now a part of them. Which adds to the horror, mystery and scariness behind the film.
