Mise-en-scene

Costume - The costume used in this poster gives us a clue as to what genre the film is about. You can identify that it is a women that is sitting in the device as she is wearing high heeled boots, this could tell us that she may be helpless or defenseless to what happening. The use of a red cloak could connote that there is danger present and it is the thing that stands out most which could mean the idea of danger is highly significant to the movie. Her face is covered by a pig mask, which could imply that the captor could regard her as pig and gives her animalistic qualities whilst it could also be used to cover up her identity and create a sense of mystery. By analysing the costume you can tell this movie could be of the horror genre.

Lighting - The lighting in this poster is very dark as low key lighting is used. Several objects are lit up such as the mask and the contraption she is sitting in. There is a contrast of light and dark lighting which empathises whats in the poster but also gives it a dark and scary atmosphere. The lighting makes the audience focus on the character and could make the audience wonder what is going on.

Actors Expressions - The character appears to be motionless as shes its on the chair, this could show us that maybe shes not panicking or worrying. Her stance is strong as her back is straight and her legs are firmly on the floor this could show that maybe she is not a victim but she could be the captor testing out the contraption, this could also represent that she is a strong independent character, this makes several narrative enigmas that the audience would want to find out by watching the film. From knowledge of the previous films the audience know that she is an accomplice.

Make-Up - There is no visible make-up used in this poster, as her face is covered by a mask we do not know where she is wearing any. The use of a pig mask could suggest that she might be being tested as make up is tested on pigs.

Props - There are not many props used in the poster, but the main prop is highly significant as the mechanism she is sitting on is a primary focus in the poster. The audience do not know what the device does or what its for, but from the tag line in the poster "Its a trap" the audience can tell its a trap used for torture. Previous Saw film viewers would know already what the device is for. The shackles round her ankles could also show that she is helpless and that she is restrained, this also has sexual connotations.

Setting - The setting does not give much away about the film as it is not a specific location, this adds to the mysterious atmosphere and poses more narrative enigmas. The setting is dull and dark would could suggest its in a isolated place, where no one else would really go. This use of the setting is typical of the genre as horror films usually use no specific setting and are usually isolated and dark with a sense of mystery of not knowing where it is.
