This poster reminds me of a family photo, which has been taken of a wealthily family. The expensive suits connote that they maybe rich. I also get this idea from the sub heading “money never sleeps”. Both characters in this poster are shrouded in black - even more so on the right side. This may mean that are both characters have most probably done dark things to get to there position, or they are just bad people. I notice also that on the left side there is more light. This may mean that the character on the left is trying to break away from the darkness. The font of the logo tells me that this is a serious film, and also but the sub heading as well. The cast members names are coloured orange to stand out on the poster, and is placed below the main image of the poster so that it doesn’t distract you from it.

i pick this trailer because it had aspects i liked and also things that are similar to many of my ideas for my teaser trailer.


this trailer is more is not about a movie but a documentary about the food industry. i think this trailer is a good exsample of what i can Imitate for my own trailer.What i mean by that is, i could do a teaser trailer about a pressing real life issues or something i can Realistically do.


i've been trying to find trailers that are close to reality and i think this trailer is it. when the trailer starts you think its a comedy - but in the end you find out what she was talking about in the begining was a dream. the trailer shows raw emotion in a span of 2 mintutes,and that is what im looking for.

I think this poster is very effective and only can be in black and white. The first thing we notice is the man giving a very instance emotionless stare, it gives you the feeling that he is staring at you through the poster. The stare is main theme of this poster and it gets you to wonder why he is staring that way. Maybe he got bad news, or maybe - what I guess to be his girlfriend to the left of him, has told him that she is pregnant. The poster doesn’t give you a exact answer , but that’s what I think would make people see this film. We can confirm that this poster film is most likely going to a serious film, this is even backed up by the font of the blue logo, which has been positioned quite badly as it kind of distracts us from the main image of the poster. Was it their intention to do so?


This poster is simple yet powerful. It has the character straight in the middle, making her the centre of attention. As we have the attention of the character we can tell the character is worried , scared even. This most likely tell us something about the film. The whole poster goes for a orangey brown theme, with only the text of the title and cast of the film. This is good so that we are only concentrating on the main image, and all the text stays well away from it.

As the main logo underneath suggests ,this person is uninvited. This whole poster gives itself to its name, when you look at this poster you instantly think that the person in this poster is locked out from the building. The image here rises a few questions - is this person trying to break in? or is she meant to be in the house and someone isn’t letting her in? The poster is totally grey, suggesting this is a horror film. To me this poster has three layers to it- the window at the front , the girl in the middle and the trees in the background. This gives the poster more of a horror feel. The logo of the film looks as if it was written by a child, making the whole poster look very creepy.
