The poster above is for the film The Ring Part Three which is a horror film. This is expressed straight away through the poster because of how dark and gloomy it is. In the film there is a TV screen with interference which is one of the most significant things in the story line, this is expressed through the poster because over the whole thing is a noise effect which looks quite grungy. There isn't much information given away which in my mind is good because it leaves the talking to the film and in a way makes you curious and want to actually go see the film and go see what it is all about.
Total film is one of the biggest film magazines and the cover above is also based on horror. Jack Nicholson shown on the cover is the man from the horror film 'The Shining' which is from 1980. The shining is a classic horror film and this is shown well on the cover because the images are all black and white with the total film title as red which connotes blood and backs up the horror theme. The way that the cover is montage with images which make up an overall face is really clever and looks like a bunch of Polaroid pictures were bunched and stuck together.
These two pieces of media are really effective because they both have a quite chilling feeling and also don't give away too much information which teases the audience. The poster makes you want to see the film and the cover makes you want to buy the magazine and read more into it.
