Modern Zombie Film and Television Posters

From researching modern posters for Zombie themed film and television posters we have found some recurring features:

1) No facial close-ups of main 
characters are shown, only silhouettes/extreme long shot of a main/important character - this implies that it could be anyone stuck in this horrific situation

2) High contrast cloudy skies  - Pathetic fallacy, indicates the unrest and turmoil the characters are going through





3) Darkened edges  - makes the poster appear more gory and tattered








4) The colour red  - Red is instantly symbolic of blood which is heavily associated with zombies and the destruction of them






5) Backdrop of either a city or deserted rural locations - Gives an instant time placement for the audience, 
you know instinctivly that you
                                     will be following the survivors of that apocalypse

6) Often the typography looks weathered or like a stamp/stencil - 

this makes the title appear to be more of an offical document, than a horror film
