Analysis of Potential Poster

Our first potential poster follows the main thriller colours white, red, black and grey. The text is mainly in white to stand out against the black background and then certain words are in red to stand out further and hints the importance.

For example, the use of red here emphasises the word danger, as red is seen as a colour that symbolises danger.  The choice of text here is hinting at the fact the danger is infact the main character herself. It enables the audience to conjure up their own rhetorical questions and makes them want to find out what it is implying, in turn making them want to see the film.

The choice to have the picture in a night vision effect hints that there is darkness and secrets within the film. Although it is not as clear as if would have been in colour, the use of the red contacts is still affective as it gives the eyes an unnatural tint. The use of the faded edges also adds to the effect that there are hidden twists within the film. The dark smudged make up around the eyes add a dishevelled look to the character showing she is insane, this is emphasised further in the slight squint in the eyes. The fact that one eye is slightly more squinted than the other hints to the storyline of the character having to sides to her personality. Having the picture central of the poster, makes the poster more eye-catching, attracting more of an audience.

The choice of text works well with the rest of the poster, as with the picture, it does not give away too much but is still stern enough to attract attention.
Overall, I think our first potential poster is effective enough to attract audience and engage them enough to want to see the film. It is not exactly as we had first planned, but still think it works just as well as the first plan and was a little easier to achieve.
