The Shining

                We can tell right away that The Shining is a Thriller by looking at the poster. However, we have spent hours to evaluate The Shining's poster, try to find the elements that define the poster that it's a thriller. Looking at the poster, we can see right away a face of the woman screaming for help while the other guy has the smile on his face as if he is enjoying himself. Not just that, there is also the juxtaposition between them, using the weapons. We can tell from the facial-expression that the woman is using it for protection to protect herself against the other guy whom seems to use an axe to harm the woman we can tell by the fact that his axe is stuck to the wall. There is also the contrast in the background between the light and dark colours which make she looks more innocent while the dark shadow makes him looks devil-liked. Other than the lighting, the capture of this poster which use the face shot of the man signifies his power over the woman whom captured just half top of her body.
