Poster deconstruction - The Broken

Image result for the broken film poster

As a group we were inspired by the creativity of this film poster. The use of a close up shot of one character already greatly appealed to us, and after analysing this poster, it confirmed our decision. Without any background knowledge of the film and it's narrative or genre beforehand, it's clear from this poster that the film is along the lines of a thriller or drama. The lack of bright colours across the poster is also fairly effective as the grey/black colours add a tension and the bland colour highlights the character's red lips. The poster is not over-crowded and the simplicity of it is fairly appealing. The title, displayed in white font on a black background, is the biggest piece of text and therefore attracts attention. The actress' name is displayed very clearly above the title which is fairly rare for a film poster of this genre. Normally, more than one actress/actor's name is displayed or none at all. The poster doesn't display a slogan either which diverts the attention to just the title and character.
