Sorority Row

• In the image has 6 female character, they all have pale skin which represents illness or death.
• The composition of the characters is as it were a heap of corpses; this implies that the film may involve death and trauma.
• None of the girls in the image are smiling which suggests melancholy.
• The poster contains no obvious colour apart from the fire and the red underlining, emphasis on these colours connote danger and death.
• The tagline 'Sisters for life... and death'.
• Word play on the phrase sisters for life.
• The girls look young and healthy, yet it is clear through composition of the image that the film will involve death.
• The building in the background creates enigma as it is faded into black. However the flames surrounding it show that this is likely to be were most of the action takes place. We also associate flames with hell and death.
• The image of the girls is central and if therefore the main focus.
• The lighting on the girls faces is prominent. The light is bright white showing their angelic side yet they are in a dangerous situation.
• Sorority Row is a play on words as the word row has a double meaning. As well as it symbolising the sorority, it also symbolises death row.
