SILVER LININGS
The actors names appear just below the main image. They're not hugely prominent, however the surnames are bolder and bigger than the forenames. Two characters are presented on the poster, one male and one female. The male character is facing towards the camera, however the female character is facing the male character, This could suggest that in the film, she loves him and chases him however he ignores her. This links to the text in between the characters reading "love hurts" in small black font.
The title of the film is just under the actors names. The title 'silver linings' suggests that bad things happen in the film, but theres always a positive thing that happens to. The colour of the title is yellow, which is a happy colour.
There is a billing block at the bottom of the poster, and a website.
