There are two posters for the film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" that use similar images of the three main characters but with different color schemes and layouts. The title font references typewriters, linking to how the protagonist uses one in the film and conveying the retro, indie nature. Additionally, the green background color matches the original book cover, linking the film to the book for readers. The posters depict the three characters leaning against a wall, hinting at their role as "wallflowers" and suggesting a close bond through an intimate pose.

1. There are two posters for the film “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower”- both of which are very similar in the
fact that they both use the same image showing the three main characters just with different positioning
alongside a few different pieces of information and the title being of a varying font. Additionally, the colour
schemes vary in that one is green and black whilst the other is yellow and blue.
The title of the film is of a typewriter font- this links to the
how the protagonist uses a typewriter in the film. Thus, the
font could connote the ‘retro’, ‘indie’ nature of the film as it
links to literature and the past. Additionally, it shows how
the film was set in the 90s as typewriters were still
commonly used in this time.
The background colour is
lime green and that was the
colour of the original book
cover. This is an intuitive
link that the audience can
make that may interest the
readers of the book.We can
also see that its a wall
which links to the title
‘Wallflower’ thus the
actors shown must be the
‘wallflowers’ hinting at the
possible narrative.
We can assume that the three characters are the mains;
we can’t tell much about them which is intriguing for
us but the fact that the teenage girl is leaning on the
young males shoulder suggests a close bond.
This is a quote from the
book which will
automatically attract the
existing book fan
base;thus linking both
the book and film
together.
The three main
characters are used as
the USP which is an
automatic attraction for
the audience.
The poster links to the novel in
a vide variety of ways; this is
another USP of the film.
The audience’s attention is
drawn to the title at the top
and the three main actors at
the bottom due to it being
relatively spaced out. I feel
this is pleasing to the eye
and allows the connection
to be made between the title
and image of the
‘Wallflowers’.
