Poster Analysis

The main focus of this poster is the man and woman in the centre, as these are the two main characters. The way in which they are positioned, with their arms round each other, links very well to the teaser that we have been creating becasue it is all about romance, love and trying to find the one of you, or Nick in our case.

The colour theme for this poster is mainly browns, golds/yellows and hints of oranges. I think that this works well due to the colour of her outfit and the light that is in the background, which draws me to my next point. The light is shining down on the couple and is in the centre of the image highlighting them, showing that they are the most important people in the film. It could also have a reflection on the romance throughtout the movie and also help to draw the auidences attention to them. The fact he wears a guitar on his back shows that his character is obviously quite musical even if u didnt know that the film was based on Johnny Cash's life.

The title of the movie has been put in the same font as that of the covers of the DVD's and the various other posters that were used to promote the movie. The two main actors names have been put at the top of the poster, which conforms to nearly movie posters and have put in a white font so that they stand out to the audience, as it sometimes the actors that manage to sell the movie.

The tagline for the film reads 'Love is a burning thing' which also relates well in terms of our trailer, as it is mainly based on love (in favour of the girls in the teaser) and the Nick's inability to commit to one relationship.

The billing box at the bottom is like that of any poster, therefore conforming to all movie posters.
