1. This poster is typical of a conventional thriller movie poster. It features the main character against a
background that references the film, it include the title in bold lettering and the main other actors
and actresses.
The character that features on the poster is in an action pose looking on and holding a gun, this tells
the audience that it is an action film. The image of the character is in contrast this shows a mystery to
the identity or foreignness to the face.
At the top of the image the text says “From the directors of Moon” they use this previous film to help
advertise and attract those who enjoyed the film Moon.
The tagline of tis film is “Change the past, save the future”. This plays on everybody’s wish to take
back time in order to change present or future situations. In this film the character shown has died
and they are using his brain to reanimate a memory in order to change the past, therefor this tag line
helps to portray the film very well. It also helps to depict a hero of the character with the words
“save the future”
The character does not show much expression except from a focus ad determination, this suggests a
future narrative of a failure followed by a triumph however the lack f emotion could also be a sign of
a distance to the character.
The background in the poster helps to link to the films virtual vs. reality feel that you get when
watching the film. The pixilation and breaking of the pattern shows the character metaphorically
breaking through to the past. It also gives the poster a technological theme, which links with the
methods used in the film as well as forming a code, which the title could be referring to.
The title is written in a bold txt and is red which is a colour that contrasts the rest of the poster.
