TRANSCRIPT

One of the main characters with a serious expression on his face and

clenching his fist. This shows aggression and that he is the bad guy with a dark overall theme to

him.

Holding a object but it isn't recognisable to the viewer, making the viewer think of the possibilities

of what it could be. It also adds mystery and makes them wonder.

Background is of high buildings and skyscrapers showing us this is the setting of the film. There is what looks like blast debris and sparks which represents action is going

on and that this is a action thriller genre type. It also gives the background a gritty type of

look and feel to it.

The title and logo/symbol for the film is clearly visible with

a sharp white font. This stands out from the otherwise

dark and grainy poster.

Coming Soon is in a big bold font so that it stands out from the dark

background, film studios and production companies logos are

also visible.

Actors and actresses names are positioned at the top, their surnames in bigger font

than their forename.

Credits are positioned at the bottom of the page in white to pop out from the dark blue and black

background.

The title of the film is centered at the bottom of the page with a white colour

which is the only time this colour is used on the poster making it stand

out. It also have a textured look to it and this could be to reflect the story

line or characters within the film itself.

The face is surrounded by various pictures and shots of people and objects

in a blue tint. This is to show that all these are events in the film and in his

past and supports the strap line that the truth is complicated as these pictures are randomised and don't make sense at first

viewing.

The main character is positioned in the centre of the page to show

significance. The pictures around him overlap onto his face and can be seen with closer inspection. This tells the viewer that there may be more

than meets the eye with this character and will have to pay close

attention.

Actors names are the same sized font throughout and are in the same colour as the strap line which shows a consistency within the colour scheme.
