The reason that I chose this film is the fact that this movie is a very much like mine in the fact that a young girl has been murdered and looking for redemption. The genre of this movie is both drama and revenge, something mine would be. My movie will be more horrific in the sense of how the girl looks for redemption but I felt this was a good movie poster to look at in contrast to the darker way mine will be.
1. The title and font for this is all written in capital letters, to try to get to the attention of the audience. The word 'Lovely' is in bold, this is again to get the attention of the audience. It gives an audience a clue that the girl could be very lovely and also could be quite ironic due to the fact she was murdered, something very awful.
2. The girl in this film poster looks sweet and innocent. From the clothes that she is wearing it looks like a winter's morning, her face looks shocked to see the figure standing across from her and her colours in her clothes are happy colours. The colours show life, where as the the figure all black could symbolise death.
3. The setting for the poster is a corn filed, the colour of purple doesn't seem too natural but it adds an air of mystery to the meeting of these 2 people. The ground looks dead, another tell tale sign that it is likely to be winter time. The colours of the sky also make it seems like sunrise. The lighter yellow is on the half with the girl and the darker purple is with the blacked out man. This good be a contrast of good and evil.
4. The man is wearing a coat and the rest of him appears to be blacked out, this makes his character a shaded one, it hides who they really are from the audience. The total colour of black makes him mysterious and made to look a bad person.
5. The sky is where the 2 contrast colours clash. This is the contrast of good and evil. It makes the poster seem more realistic too.
