Why is his face half hidden?

I wondered why his face is half hidden and I think it could be because it makes me look vulnerable.

Why is it in black and white?

The reason it is in black and white is because of the title is ‘Women in Black’ and because of the grey style is makes it look scarier than it would be in colour. It could mean that the character in this case is Daniel Radcliffe he is miserable and something in his life has made him gloomy.

Why is this phrase on the poster?

On every poster I believe you need a slogan, but sometimes they don’t make sense and you have to think about them but its important I think to include them.

The posters include them because they want the viewers to be caught into the poster and it can makes them think meaning the slogan might be confusing, funny, or a sentence which might define the film.

Text fonts?

Its important to think careful about the font you use on your poster or even a movie trailer.

I like the font and also that it is in capital letters because it makes it look important and it shouldn’t be forgotten.

The style of the text makes it look old and torn like the house in the background. Which as a view might make it feel like a reflection of what the house is like and the style of the film setting might be olden times like 1950s.

Why is their a shadow on the face?

I think they could possibly be a shadow shown on his face because he might have a dark side or to give a sense that the film might have a dark side or has a dark twist at the end.

Glow on the face?

I think the glow on his face is effective and it shows a glow in his eyes which could maybe be fear but its mainly effective because it leaves a question mark on what the film is actually about because of the darkness behind him and the small tint of light in the face it makes you question what the film is actually about.

Why included the light of a match reflecting on the face?

I think including the match light without a flash is very effective on the poster.

The light reflects onto his face which makes it seem like he is in the dark and in the shadows and because in the dark you don’t know what is there anything could be hidden him.

Why is it important to put the actors name on the poster?

It is important to put the characters especially well known ones because it could make the film more popular in selling cinema tickets or just for people to know who is starring in the film.

Its important to put the release date on the poster because if this poster was at a bus stop and someone was watching for the bus it would be good for them to know the date it is released.

The text?

The text is almost the same as before (the Women in Black poster) and it has the same effect that also looks like clouds in the sky for the picture of the island below.

Why is this in red?

I wondered why red was used to highlight the slogan and the date of the release but then red is the colour that emphasises danger and fear. So it can give you an indication that the film is a horror and is going to be quite scary.

Why have shots of the film on the poster?

I think having some of the best scenes from the film on the poster is very effective and instead if trying to fit all of the characters in the film on to the poster by showing different scenes from the film you are able to see other characters instead of the one on the poster.

Another slogan?

On each of the posters I have looked at, they all have a slogan which means that I most probably need one too. So before I even started anything I had to brainstorm and think of a company name and a slogan myself so I will include my slogan on the poster.

A gun is shown on purpose why would this be?

The mise-en-scene ina prop of a gun is shown on purpose to maybe attract the target audience which is most likely to be males as the film involves a lot of action. By looking at the movie poster and seeing the gun you can tell what the film will involve.

Why would a poster show that it is up to date with technology?

With the update in new technologies its good that this poster included twitter and facebook. It also enables a target audience to be able to look at the film and the updates on it for free on the internet. It could also help access a whole new target audience.
