Deconstructing a film poster.

As one of our ancillary tasks is creating a poster for our film. We are doing separate posters and to get an idea of what to do i am going to deconstruct film posters.

This is a poster of a short film called 'The Climb'.  The poster clearly shows the target audience with the graffiti. Apart from the graffiti, the poster uses dull colours, and dull coloured clothes giving it the feel that it isn't a happy film. However, the title of 'The Climb' juxtaposes this and suggests it starts off dull but gets happier and succeeds a goal.

Even though this poster is of a major film, the genre is similiar. For example, it is both a romance film and the main male character is with the wrong girl. On this poster there are three images, whereas on most there is only one image. The images are seperate like in three rows. The main colour on this poster is red which symbolises the romance of the film. The names of the actors are in a box in the top left hand corner in a brighter shade of red. The darker red could be seen as the darker side of the romance and the lighter red could be seen as the true love. Like all poster the crew and cast are listed at the bottom in white.
