Posters


The Crazies was a very popular film in 2010. A poster tells the audience a very vague idea about what the movie is about and the mood it sets. The Crazies poster here shows that there is violence and killing involved as the garden folk has blood dripping of it and onto the floor. The slightly smaller print below the title which says "Fear Thy Neighbour", gives another small hint about the movie and it also goes against what Jesus said which was, "Love Thy Neighbour" which is fairly sinister. Overall, the poster looks menacing and also I have seen the movie and I can relate the layout of the poster to the film. The font used to illustrate the title is the sort of font which is shown on signs which say things like, "Do Not Enter" or "Hazardous Area".


Salt was another popular movie in 2010 it is basically about a CIA agent goes on the run after a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. The poster has Angelina Jolie who is a very well known actor, so people will instantly know who she is and draws more attention to the poster. The question "Who is Salt?" also, gives the reader a certain degree of confusion and also idea of what the movie is about.
