1. Every Secret
Thing
The character is in the poster
is alone and surrounded by a
lot of looking room. This
makes her appear vulnerable
and lonely, creating sympathy
within the audience.
Her face is blocked which
creates distance between her
and the audience as they
cannot connect with her, this
creates a sense of mystery.
The long-shot portrays how
alone the character is, making
her seem in danger and
vulnerable, therefore, creating
a mysterious feel.
The dark clouds that are in the
background connote eeriness
and mystery, and therefore
use pathetic fallacy to
portray that something
bad/dangerous happens in the
film.
There is a police car
backgrounded in the mise-
en-scene of this poster which
is associated with crime and
danger, therefore enhancing
the mysterious feel of the
poster and intriguing the
viewer as it makes them feel
sympathy and also wonder
what has happened.
This push-chair is laying on it’s
side which creates
disjointedness and mystery.
Additionally, the fact that there
is no baby in it, implies that
they are missing, adding to
the mystery and leaving the
audience intrigued and
curious.
This low-angle shot creates a
slight sense of authority and
power, however the mise-en-
scene contrasts with this,
making her appear vulnerable.
