Rationale For the Film Review

Poster Analasys - Daisy Hook

The poster for Shutter Island lets us know that its a thriller in many different ways.
The first way that it does this is through the use of the weather. We can only see that its raining, and other than that we can only see that its very dark, this tells us the mood of the film through pathetic fallacy showing that its going to be a dark film.
The island itself is a collage of a number of photos, giving us an idea perhaps that the film is about piecing together the evidence or completing a puzzle.
The main block of text is kept away from the main image and is kept to the middle alignment.
The main part of the text that our eye is drawn to is the title not only because its the biggest font but because its a vivid red colour, the font also looks like it has been stamped, this could give us an idea about the location, ie places that use red stamps, hospitals, drop in centres Ect.

The colour palette used in this poster is very synonymous with fantasy horrors, a variety of shades of blue and brown, most of them being darker shades. this gives us a clue that the storyline will also be dark in its theme.
Even though the title isn't in a striking colour its still the thing that our eye is drawn to because of its placement. The title also ties in with the setting with the R of the title leading off into a branch.
the main image is of a little girl (who is the main character) walking in to the split trunk of a tree. We are meant to veiw the girl as being vulnerable and innocent, which is very juxtaposed to the setting, being very old and ominous.
All of the main text is placed in negative space apart from the tag line which is placed over an image of the moon, which can tell us that the majority of this film will be set at night.

We can tell this film is probably going to be a comedy from the words saying "from the director of The Mighty Boosh" which was a very wacky comedy.
The poster its self is very colourful we can guess that the film is going to be colourful as well. The poster also has marks on it for instance over the U of Bunny is a coffee mug stain, as if its been used for a place mat or forgotten which you wouldn't really see with other film posters but in itself is quite quirky considering that posters are meant to be kept pristine and clean so this tells us that the film its self is going to be rather quirky in its nature.
The poster is split up into 3 sections, the main image, the title and pictures of the supporting actors. the production block is situated underneath the supporting actors images along with all the other production details.
