From seeing this poster for the first time, I can say it's a horror film because of the dark color red, black and dark blue. Another feature that gives a sense that this film will be a horror film is the sharks. The sharks give a sense of death, blood and violence.
The movie title "47 Meters Down" is written big but the "47 " is written in a dark blue and the " Meters down" is written in white writing. The reason why the film is called "47 Meters down" is because they want to excite the audience. This excites the audience because average divers only can dive up to 42 meters. Below the movie title, they have short sentences " No Help, No Hope, No Escape. This suggests to the reader that under the sea there is human that you can call for help and there is no escape because of the sharks hunting.
The position and the movement of the two girl body which is waving hands, panicking and wiggling suggest to the audience that the two girls don't know what they are doing and they are not licensed for scuba diving because scuba divers don't use their hand to swim up only their legs. The red around they represent blood suggest that they are bleeding and the sharks can smell them. The torchlight that the girl is holding gives the suggestion to the audience that the movie is going to be dark. the slide fade of 2 colors of the background black to dark blue suggests that there is no light under and it's unseeable. The sharks are surrounding the girls in the picture that suggest to the audience that the girls are being hunted by one too many sharks which make escape impossible. The sharks are presented showing the teeth and blood around it to show that audience that these sharks are aggressive, violent and they do eat humans. The light glancing through the top of the poster suggests to the audience freedom, peace and way out.
The picture is taken in a long shot to show the the audience how little the two girls are and how huge the two sharks are.
