Research and Planning: Film poster analysis 1

A close up is the main shot in this poster showing a woman who looks like she is trying to stop herself catching something, showing this is an infection film. The colour of this consistently red, black and white. with red being the dominant colour on the poster this could represent the colour of blood showing that the genre could be horror as horror films have a lot of blood and gore also the quarantine symbol shows that this is also a film about some sort of infection. this gives a sense of the narrative that the world has been plagued with a virus and the film will be about what has happened o the world 28 weeks after the virus started. A film like this would most likely target an audience between 15-18 males and females as it is a woman on the poster suggesting that she will be the main protagonist and women can relate to other women and men would watch this as it seems like a violent and high action film which would make them want to see it.
The female character is represented as being wall eyes, this suggest that this feature may be an important theme of the film. The poster also contains cast and crew which is typical on any film poster. The website for the film is also available on the bottom of the poster.
