This is the film poster for saw VI released on Halloween 2009. The shot for the poster is taken from an Ariel position showing six people in a circle. In the centre of the circle there is a red and white spiral, which suggests to the viewer these people are targets for something. At the top of the poster we can see a shot gun which suggests to the audience the genre of the film is a horror; also other than the red of the spiral the poster is in grey and black doing this allows the poster to look very effective. The background of the poster is pure black with tarnished areas shown in grey.
Another element of the poster that is successful is the way the images are linked with the writing; for example there are six people in the circle and the film is the sixth film. The tag line is “the game comes full circle” and we are shown a circle; personally I find those elements very successful within the poster.
There are no credits on the poster but there are two logos either side of the “VI”; all the writing is in large bold text and easy to read; the poster never displays the name of the film but expects the viewer to already know which film this is for due to the style as it matches the previous 5 films. I think that this poster is very successful and fits with the film very well.
