The character V’s face is shrouded in darkness. This makes him look very mysterious and unknown, unhuman. This also is represented by the mask he is wearing. The shape of this character is human like as well his body is straight at an angle along the poster. The camera angle is low down on this character to show that he is very powerful and intimidating. This is a typical thriller character as he shows danger and is a very mysterious person, which is a typical thriller convention. The second character is lower down. This shows she is not as powerful as V. however she is in V’s shadow. This shows she is on his side and helps him out. Her face is not covered up and she is not wearing cloths that cover up all of her body like the main character. This shows that she might be a character who is good. Her dress however is red as is the font on this poster is mainly red. Red has connotations with danger. Which is a typical thriller convention. This could mean that the secondary character is breaking bad to do good for the people or something similar. This could be what both the character is like. The red lines in the sky have been slightly distorted round the edges and are made to look like a blood splat. This shows that there is going to be death in this plot. The writing across the blood splat could show that blood is going to be spilled for the freedom of the people. The name of the film is in white, this could mean that he is a good character trying to do right by doing bad things to achieve them. The figure behind the two main characters are all wearing masks as well. This shows that this character has a small army. But this army is efficient as the background is on fire.

There is a clock in the background, big ben. This shows where the film is based. The character V is holding a knife. This is made the center of attention as it is shining bright. This could show that he uses this tool for the good of the people.

As a whole the poster is very dark and mysterious which is a typical thriller genre.
