Movie Poster Example 3

This is a poster for the horror film 28 Days Later, which is about an virus epidemic which sweeps through England. The poster indicated that the film is about a virus due to the virus sign behind the title of the film. This symbol is known worldwide, which is a clear indication of the films contents. The background of the poster is purely red, and since red is the colour of blood and danger, it helps show to the audience that the film is going to contain graphic scenes. Furthermore, the background of the image shows Big Ben, which is an icon of the city of London, suggesting that one of the film's locations is London. Also, in the image it shows a lone man walking, suggesting the isolation that the man must be feeling throughout the film. Furthermore, the image looks scratched, which suggests a graphite like look. This shows that the film's mood isn't going to be a good mood. The title of the film is written in white font, which contrasts with the film, as the colour white represents godliness and peace, something which the film does not portray. Furthermore, the films slogan "The Days Are Numbered" relates back to the name of the film, and suggests that the end of the world is near.
