1984 Poster analysis

I have chosen this poster because its a similar type of film as our film, this poster is effective because it ads a sense of mystery over the film as there is a face in the background hidden with a single light over the top adding an eerie sense over the image. Also the poster is quiet plain as there is block colours dominant colour is black with a bit of orange in bottom, this suggests that it is a dark film. There is a picture of two people a man and a woman it looks as though the woman had been injured or died as she is in the mans arms looks like there is some sort of heartache in the film as there is a concerned face on the mans face, this also suggests that there will be some kind of unrest in the film. The tagline 'George Orwells terrifying vision comes to screen' this shows that there is a mystery about the film and going to be problems in the film. The billing list is at the bottom showing that its the name of the film that is going to sell it rather than the actors as its from a famous book so people will already know what is going on with the characters, the company was taking a punt with that and hoping people go for name not actors.
