Poster deconstruction - Cake

Image result for cake 2014 film poster

The film poster for Cake stood out to us as we took a liking to the idea of a close up shot of the protagonist's face. Clearly the poster reveals a character and possibly their characteristics through their facial expression and image. However, this poster in particular doesn't reveal any of the narrative or setting. The bland colours used also make it effective as the character's sparkling blue eyes are extremely visible. The font and colour of the title is fairy simple with the use of red on a white background making it stand out. There are no slogans or tag lines on this poster which also adds to the mystery of the plot. There are no ratings or reviews however at the top above the character, the poster displays visible recognition of the film's nomination for a Toronto film festival award. The release of the film is mentioned on the poster but without an exact date, instead 'this January' is displayed.
