When analysing the pictorial version of the film Eden Lake, many conventions make this film fit into the thriller genre.
Firstly, a women is pictured in the left third of the set. This women is portrayed as vulnerable due to her low lined dress revealing a mass amount of bare skin, making her a target to the opposite sex and therefore the femme fatal of the movie. Not only this but the invulnerability of this female is also indicated with the subject seeking coverage behind a tree from the three given shadows in depth within the background. Also, the women is seen to be looking down at the camera giving the audience a sense of lacking confidence encompassed within the character. Still, when looking at the women's facial expression you get a certain feeling of terror and anxiety. This would embrace intertexuality with that of the thriller genre. Fear is also shown by the state in which the character appears, dirty and worn as if the character is old and used like she is being continuously chased.
Next when you look at the title, block capitals are used to create emphasis upon the name of the film indicating significance and importance. Danger is also symbolised through the use of the colour red, making connections with blood and the devil. This therefore creates speculations of suspense throughout the audience.
When looking to the right, three shadows are illuminated within the background. From this the central shadow has a wide stance showing strength and presence. This could therefore indicate that this character is the leader of the group and the key assassin within the film. With these shadows being on higher ground the camera is looking up from a low angle shot. This shows power and hierarchy over the female character.
Finally, having the mass of the media black, this represents something bad and is commonly associated with death. With all the subjects highlighted this shows intertextuality with a touch, as if something is trying to be found in the light. This therefore advertises a vulnerable victim trying to overcome obstacles to hide from the villain. This is a typical plot for a thriller film including key literacy devices.
