key characters within the film. The main character of the film is implied as he is in the foreground of the image, thus portraying him as the most important. The image is very simplistic which is conventional of the social realism genre.
Furthermore, this image creates enigma codes for the audience as the main character, a child, appears to be the most significant character of all the characters. The audience might question how a child is the leader of this group of people. Colour Palette:
The colour is very minimalistic as there appear to be three main colours used blue. Red and white. This coincides with the title of the film, as the main theme of the film is England. As these colours are the only colours used, it makes the poster appear more simplistic, conforming to the genre of social realism. Moreover, the lack of colour makes the images of the characters appear more prominent, thus emphasizing their importance. Film Title:
The colour and font of the title are extremely conventional. In addition, as the title is so simplistic, it doesnt decrease the audiences focus from the main image of the characters.
Furthermore, even though the title is very simplistic in font and colour, it still stands out so the audience are aware it is the main title. The white strongly contrasts with the blue background and also the text is very large so takes up a significant amount of the poster. Tagline:
The tagline is very small and positioned right at the top of the poster so the audiences attention isnt immediately drawn to it.
The tagline being is very simplistic so conforms to the genre of social realism. In addition, it appeals to the target audience and portrays to the audience what the film might be about as the tagline is quite blunt. Billing Block:
The billing block is so small it is very difficult to read. However, this is not the most important thing for the audience. Additionally, it is unconventionally placed to the right of the poster. Actors names ?
Conventionally the actors names would appear on the film poster to advertise and a-list cast. However, as this is a British independent film, the cast is most likely unknown, so they have not been used as an advertising method.
Therefore, for my film I will definitely have to consider whether I should use my actors names as a focal point of the film poster or not. My film is of the same genre as this film and additionally the production values would be very similar, so this is a significant point I need to consider.
