The sixth sense poster

This is a poster for a psychological horror/thriller called The Sixth Sense. The majority of the poster is black which tells the audience that the tone of the film is dark and scary. The orange effect on Bruce Willis's face shows his emotions and facial features and he looks confused, like he is figuring something out. There are elements of fear in his face as well.
The small picture of the main boy in the film, Hayley Joel Osment, makes him appear very dark and almost horror like as we cannot see his face. He is kept as a mystery in the poster as we cannot see what he looks like.
The title is near the bottom of the poser in white writing and this represents that although 'Cole'(Hayley Joel Osment) has a sixth sense he is innocent and scared. the tagline is also effective as it shows Cole has a gift although it is not a gift he wants.
The actors name at the top attracts attention from audiences as he is a well known, professional, successful actor.
