Film Poster Research
Looking For Eric
As we can see from the tagline, that Looking For Eric is going to be a heroic comedy, which slightly contradicts the look of seriousness on what looks to be the protagonist. From the piercing look of the male character suggests he is an important figure or even the main character within the movie, that its centered around 'Eric'. There is also a look of confusion in his facial expressions which leads us to believe there some use of enigma within the film. The use of black and white in the main characters picture, as well as the 80-90's collar of the smaller character in the bottom left corner implies the movie is set 15-20 years ago. It also steers us to believe it is a sport most likely football related film, joined with the man celebrating in title wording with his hands in the air to create a similar shape to an I.
We see they only use one newspaper review. of 5 stars. This could be because of 2 reasons, either it is a very specific movie sub-genre that is aimed at a smaller target audience therefore it wasn't very widely advertised and shown and this newspaper/magazine was the only one to write a good review on the film to put it on the poster. Although the title is Looking for Eric, by looking at the tagline which tells us its a heroic comedy as well as the suggestion of football implies it is using 'looking' as a metaphor in relation to the main character which links back to the look of unease and confusion on his face.
Harry - this is too short, and you're not making this work useful as a part of your process. This must look like A Level work, and this really doesn't. Each poster analysis ought to be around 2 screens worth of text if you're doing it like this. Much more detail, terms, comparisons, and evidence of learning needed. More effort.
