Film Poster Analysis


The film poster is one of my favourite as it tells the story through strong images, text and colour usage. The title of the poster stands out in the right horizontal, the colour is a goldy/yellow and it becomes darker as you read it. The title is pale yellow to dark gold, this could be the change from day to night when the phone calls happen. The image in the left vertical is a close-up of a female character, we can only view half her face which holds a phone to hear ear. The silhouette in the far background in the right vertical is of a man, the images together tell the story. The unique selling point in the film poster is the shadow which lurks in the background of the poster. The audience is drawn to the sense of the unknown and they want to find out who or what it is that is displayed behind the young female character. The look of fearfulness and loss in her eyes attracts the audience to want to discover the stranger on the phone and the consequences.

A2 Media Task

In my second year of media i will be producing a promotion package for a new film, to include a teaser trailor; together with a film magazine front cover, featuring the film and a poster for the film.


Teaser Trailer is a short trailer that consists of several shots from the film placed together in a non cronilogical order. This is to entice the audience to want to go and watch the film as mutilple storylines are conducted from it.

Magazine front cover and poster will try to sell my film to a wide audience and be appealing.
