This poster is the film poster for the horror film The Exorcist. The lighting is low key which symbolises the genre of the fiml (horror). It seems to be set outside a house at night with a bright light coming from the top room. This is called backlighting as the light is coming from behind the man which only shows the shape of his body and no description. This gives the effect that he may be evil or something evil may happen to him. The low key lighting represents death which may hapen in the film, this gives the audience an insight into what may happen in the film. Furthermore, the window that is shining with light seems to be shining more light than usual, in comparison to the window next to it. This may give the audience a clue that the room may be an important setting in the film. Also, this may give the clue that somethign 'good' is in the room due to the light. This lighting technique is typical in horror films as viewers will generally pick up straight away that it is a horror film. The darkness creates a hostile atmosphere ideal for horror films.
