2. The framing of the man in the foreground
compared with girl in the background walking
towards him, emphasises that he is going to be the
more dominant character throughout the story.
This is also shown by the way that he is shown to be
larger and the girl appears to be looking up to the
man.
Our eyes are drawn to the girl because of the way
she is standing in light, with the pink clouds and
yellow sun, the girl’s innocence and also the
heavenly aspect of her being is being portrayed.
The man is standing in darkness so his intentions
towards the girl seem very menacing and dark.
From the way his body is turned, shows that he is
secretive and keeps himself to himself which tells
the audience that there might be something
strange about him. Her stance with one leg in front
of the other creates a sense of movement and the
audience feel nervous for her and she walks
towards him. There is also curiosity in her
step, which implies to us that although he is a
stranger to us, the man is not a stranger to her.
3. The film title is in the top 3rd of the poster, more
towards the girl, emphasising the fact that the
film is about her and that she forms the main
plot. The directors name is above the film title in
a small font as recognition that this is his work.
'Coming Soon‘ with the date is also put on there
letting the audience know when the film is
available to watch.
The tagline 'The story of a life and everything
that came after' sounds like a fairytale which
emphasises the fantasy side of this hybrid-genre
film. This clearly states that there is going to be a
death within the film and that there could be a
life after death. This caption informs the
audience that, the death of someone doesn't just
end with the actual incidence, it carries on for
the family and friends and will have an effect on
them forever.
4. The colours used within the poster show the
audience exactly what the characters are
going to be like. The girl is wearing brightly
coloured clothes such as the colours yellow
and blue which show her innocence within
the story. The sun is shining also on the side
of the poster that she is on having
connotations that she is the ‘good’
protagonist within the film.
The man who is standing in the foreground
of the poster is dressed in dark, plain
colours showing that he is ‘bad’ and there is
something strange about him. There is no
sunlight on the side of the poster his is
standing, emphasising the fact that he is the
‘bad’ protagonist within the story.
The image has been taken in a field, this
could suggest that this is where the death in
the story could take place.
