The poster analyzes the characters and themes that can be inferred from its visual elements. Smaller supporting actresses are shown more provocatively to emphasize their sexualized roles, while the main actress wears duller clothes and appears isolated, suggesting she may be a victim. The tagline and use of the word "mean" imply there will be conflicts between stereotypical personalities. Conventions like the release date in bold and prominent billing of famous actors aim to attract audiences.

1. Poster Analysis From these girls being smaller
then the main character you can
tell that they are the co-stars of
the film. You can also tell their
personalities through the poses
they are in and as they are
showing a lot of skin you can see
that they are quite sexualised
which is stereotypical for the type
of characters they are.
This tag line indicates that there
will be a lot of disputes and
arguments amongst the
characters. It also suggests
maybe the stereotypical ‘mean’
looking girls aren’t only the
mean ones.
In most posters there will be a
release date for it and when it will
come out with the cinema. It is
also stereotypical for posters to
have sentences with the main part
of it in bold. For example here
they have the date in bold as it is
the most important part of that
sentence.
If a film has an A class
actor or actress they will
have their name in large
writing. This will attract
more of an audience and
will interest more people to
watch the film.
The main character in the
film will usually be played
by a famous actress so
they will make her the main
attraction to the poster. She
is also wearing dull clothes
compared to the girls on
the opposing side of the
poster which suggests that
she may be a victim.
The pink colour of the title
contrasts against the title
itself. The word ‘mean’ is
in bold highlighting it as a
main feature of the film.
They have put the billing
box in white writing with a
pale background so your
eyes can focus more on
the more colourful bold
writing.
