1) How do you know that the film is from the horror genre?

You can easily tell that this is a horror movie due to its conventions such as the type of font used. You can tell that they use that font to eject fear onto the audience. Furthermore, in the background image, it shows a group of kids around the age of 8 with horrified looks on their faces inferring that there is either something horrifying in front of them or that the book that they are holding contains something gruesome.

2) How does the website make the audience want to watch the film?

the website purposely put the trailer up for show which contains the most interesting and scary moments in order to pull in the audience. They also added clips and photos of what seem to be the best moments of the movie.

3) Scroll down to see the whole homepage. What other content does the website offer?

Next, visit the Mothers Of Monsters horror movie website.

1) What font/typography and colour is used for the title of the film?

The font used it sans- serif in a type of sketched way to make it seem scary. if that wasn't enough, they also used red which when talking about a horror movie usually refers to blood, death or in fact the horror industry in general.
