Upon looking at this poster the first thing I notice is that it is a landscape image, as opposed to portrait, as is typically seen in the film industry. The unusualness of this immediately captured my attention, and I am strongly considering incorporating this into my coursework.
In the centre of the image, we can see a young girl in a formal dress, although her innocence is immediately ruined for us by the fact that she is pointing a gun towards the audience. This could be representing the idea that you shouldn't assume anything about a person based on their appearance e.g. just because she looks like a sweet child, doesn't mean she is. The pink and purple lighting of the background of the image can tell us a lot about the character and the themes of the film.
Representations of the colour pink:
-This colour represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.
-Pink is feminine and romantic, affectionate and intimate, thoughtful and caring. It tones down the physical passion of red replacing it with a gentle loving energy.
-Pink is intuitive and insightful, showing tenderness and kindness with its empathy and sensitivity.
-In colour psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive colour inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.
-The colour pink represents the sweetness and innocence of the child in all of us. It is the colour of uncomplicated emotions, inexperience and naiveté. A constant and exclusive use of pink can often lead you to become immature, silly and girlish, abandoning your adult responsibilities.
Pink can also remind you of earlier childhood memories, associated with nurturing and comfort from your mother or a mother figure.
Although it may appear as though the entire film plot has been given away by the poster, in reality, we know next to nothing about what has caused this scenario, or what will happen as a result of it.
