Social Networking poster


• Main character clearly shown as the key focal point, drawing the attention straight in
• The name of the movie is on the side looking like it is a Facebook page, which breaks the conventions of a typical film poster
• The wording is used cleverly as it relates to the storyline
• It breaks conventions: there are no actor/actresses names shown, the name of the film looks quite hidden and isn’t a focal point
• In some ways you wouldn’t think that this was a film poster, it could be mistaken for advertisement for Facebook, or maybe a criminal wanted poster
• It’s quite dark, the only real colour is the small ‘Facebook’ blue strip down the side, which suggests this film could have hidden meaning
• There are no extreme designs, it is very simply done, representing this as a film that may need open minds
• It’s simple yet very effective
• The whole poster makes you ask yourself questions, about what is going on, whats the narrative?
• The facial expression isn’t what you would naturally expect it to be, therefore you are left with the wonderment of ‘why?’

I found this to be a very striking film poster, it boasts the question of why, but at the same time it is clear what the poster is portraying. Very cleverly done, yet very different. Definitely a poster that intrigues
