The document analyzes and summarizes the key elements and intended purposes of several movie posters, including: - The poster for "The Skeleton Twins" uses imagery of skeletons and a light blue color scheme to relate to the film's title and genre while attracting both male and female audiences. - Information provided in the posters' titles, images, and taglines aim to intrigue audiences about the narratives without revealing too much, and consistent color schemes are used to match the intended genres and target demographics. - A poster for the short film "Limbo" uses vague language and imagery to hint at the film's theme of awaiting resolution while still maintaining mystery for audiences. - Production

1. ‘The Skeleton Twins’ title consists of
an actual skeleton image to further
relate the title to the main objective.
Furthermore, creating an effect on the
audience, as they will want to develop
a deeper understanding of the films
background and purpose. Alongside
this, the film could entice a wide
audience as it includes both male and
female characters. As well as this, the
title gives a general idea of the
narrative and genre without giving too
much of the back story away to the
audience.
The films tagline further provides the
audience with a brief insight into the
narrative and synopsis of the film.
Thus allowing the audience to
discover what the film is likely to be
about, with the main topic of a
family.
The consistent light blue colour
scheme used by the illustrator
connotes how the film is aimed at
a male and female target
audience. This can therefore,
attract their audience whilst
reinforcing the genre. The baby
blue colour is known to symbolize
trust and loyalty, of which is one of
the main features between a pair
of twins.
The main image on the poster
clearly signifies a pair of twins
with several similarities,
including facial expressions. As
well as this, the audience can
learn that the two characters
have a good relationship due to
the way in which they are
standing close next to each
other.
The American film was released on
the 19th of January 2014, with a low
budget of $1 million. However, the film
still won an award at the Sundance
film festival in 2014. This presents how
efficient the actors were in portraying a
relationship between a pair of male
and female twins.
‘The Skeleton Twins’ was produced by Craig Johnson, along with ‘True
Adolescents’ in 2009 and plans to direct ‘Wilson’ in 2017. The director
decided upon creating a thesis to develop his own career, which a small
budget. Furthermore, he decided upon using Bill Hader and Kristen Wig to
star in his movie, of which have both had previous acting careers, making
them successful characters to suit the purpose of the film.

2. The director of the short film decided
upon a title that gives very little
information about the movie away.
However, the term ‘Limbo’ is defined
as an uncertain period of awaiting a
decision or resolution. Therefore, the
audience can gain a slight insight
into what the main purpose of the
short film may be.
The image used in this poster
captures the meaning and purpose of
the short, of which is evidently based
upon the idea of freedom and
opportunity. This allows the audience
to gain an insight into what the film is
about, without giving too much
information away.
The tagline gives a brief insight
into the narrative and synopsis of
the text, whilst further allowing the
audience to develop an
underlining of the short film so
they know what to expect when
viewing the short.
Within this particular poster, there
are few screening details, of
which is common for short films
as they have low budgets. Thus
suggesting the director decided
upon a more basic idea to get the
main purpose across. However, at
the bottom of the poster there is a
list of names of all the important
people involved in the creation
and development of the short film.
There is a consistent colour scheme
used within the poster, which is
mainly dark pink, which is used in the
sunset in the background image, as
well as the text used to title the poster
and the tagline. This attracts the
target audience, whilst portraying the
main purposes of the short film,
before the audience has had a
chance to gain an insight.
Krisstian de Lara produced the above short film with the help of two well
known actors, Fernando Corral and Eulalia Moreno. Of which further
encouraged success for the short film during the development and
production. Fernando Corral has stared in several well-known movies and
series such as Princesa Rota, this means that he has a good amount of
experience to give a good interpretation of the character. However, Eulalia
Moreno is a less well-known actor, so a short film would allow her to develop
her acting career.
