Poster research - Silver linings


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.

Media Language 

The picture of two characters are close ups from eye level. The background is blurred and the colours are very simple.

Representation 

There is representation of femininity and masculinity. The poster suggests that it is the women needing the man, therefore it supports femininity stereotype, 

Audience 

The audience would be mostly females - teenagers and adults

Narrative 

The plot of the story is that the women is in love with the man however he doesn't want to be with her, but it all works out in the end.

Genre

Romantic comedy

  1. Good - overall you get into level 3 for your poster research.

    Don't forget the layout conventions - note how text throughout all the posters is justified and whether it is centred or uses other techniques.
