Brighton Rock
Poster Research
The main focus on the Brighton Rock poster are the three characters in the foreground. The male character in the center is very prominent, and the fact that he has been centered shows that he may play a key role in the film (Hero/Protagonist). His facial expression is very serious, almost scowling at the camera, this is could also be used to show the potential dark nature of the film. As referring to Misc en Scene, his costume consists of him wearing a long black coat, again this the dark colors suggest evil but also formality. The long coat is a stereotypical costume for a inspector/detective.
The woman to the left of him in red has a very worried facial expression, her stance isn't very powerful so this shows vulnerability. She also is dressed differently compared to the woman on the right, this may show how their age is represented through their clothes. The styles and fashion senses are different between their ages. The woman on the right who his glaring at the woman in red, she looks a bit more in control. She is wearing the lightest colored clothing out of the three, maybe suggesting innocence. She also appears younger than the other two characters, possibly suggesting vulnerability. The poster suggests that there may be a potential clash between both women within the film.
The background and setting to the poster is dark as well, continuing with the ideas that the film genre could be a thriller. The dark colors are built upon from the left hand corner and get lighter towards the right hand corner, suggesting trouble may arise from the pier. From the skies we can see what looks like a storm brewing, this could give us an idea of what the film is about, something has been brewing and there will be a climax at the end, a clever use of pathetic fallacy.
The text and layout is very formal, this allows us to make the judgment that the audience the film is being targeted at is an older audience. The use of justification means the titling and production box are in line with one another, making it easier for the audience to read information regarding release dates and actors etc. The reviews are at the very top of the poster, in a white font which stands out on the dark background. There is a rating certificate of a 15 on the poster. Also the film poster is canted slightly, this could suggest instability between the characters.
