Slumdog Millionaire: Film Poster

The poster is a teaser poster which doesn't have much detail, there is a basic title with a basic review. The poster in itself does not actually highlight any importance towards the movie as a whole. However the question asked in the poster links to maybe what the film is going to be about. The main aspect of the poster is the title.

The bold colours used for the title could be represented as colours of the sun, used  to give title flamboyancy, it is written in a broken down sort of way. This may represent a theme of breakdown that may later become apparent in the film. The question asked on the poster is used on a lavender background which is not the normal colour we would associate with love normally that would be red however the lavender colour used brings a sense of subtly and the fact that the question asked is not normal.

The colours used for the poster are very flamboyant and shows the distress and eratic mindset the characters of the film may encounter during the movie. I noticed that the colours used for the poster are the colours of the rainbow which can represent the different moods and feelings felt by the characters at different times of the film.

The USP in the poster are the stark colours used which draws immediate attention. Straight away it creates a mixture of feelings and emotions. The question asked is rhetorical which immediately makes us think and begin to empathise with the characters we wonder "what does it take to find a lost love?"

The words used in the title are juxtoposed. This creates a sense of confusion and mystery as to what the film is about. We are intruiged now, we want to know.
