2) What devices and techniques have been used to produce the poster e.g. special effects?

3) What is the genre of the film? Explain in detail how you figured this out. You can refer to mise-en-scene e.g. location, setting, facial expressions, body language, particular special effects, props and colour.

4) Why has the title been designed this way? What can it tell you about the film? What can the audience expect?

5) What overall impression does the poster give the audience about the film. What type of atmosphere is being created?

6) Who do you think would be interested in going to see this film? Does it seem to have any unique selling points? What seems to be the main selling points (actor? Director? Special effects? Politics? )

7) How are characters represented in the poster?

8) How is the setting represented?

9) Which film company produced this film? It is a major Hollywood company or an Independent company? Where did the film company place the posters? (you may need to use the internet to answer these questions, IMDB is a good place to start!)
