Genre Posters - 'The Ring' (2002)

• Close up shot of a blonde victim looking very frightened which is a convention of the horror genre
• The title of the film is quite conventional for example ‘The Ring’ title is similar to ‘The Grudge’ title
• The mise-en-scene of the isolated setting in the forest is another common convention in the horror genre - this accompanied by the blue filter creates a chilling effect, again common in horror films
• The wide landscape creates the feeling of the unknown
