THE WOMAN

This is the film poster for the film we researched via www.totalfilm.com

Although it is clear that this image has been extremely edited using state of the art editing programmes it has not ruined the realistic and effective appearance of the poster. They have used three main colours throughout which have the connotations of violence and horror, black, red and grey. All combined with the  colours and their violent connotations and alongside the stormy weather which gives a mood of aggressive violence and anger, known as pathetic fallacy these small factors all contribute the atmosphere. 

The image used is very simplistic, simply a woman holding a piece of wood walking through the woods. Again this adds to the feel of the poster but by adding extras like dressing the main character in a torn and ripped blood stained dress with the plank of wood as her weapon held just like a handbag would be is so effective. By using a simple background such as the forest with the stormy skyline it allows the woman to stand out in the foreground and become the main focus, no attention is lost on the main focal point, this is enhanced by using grey tones and dark shades behind the woman it allows her to stand out. This type of shoot allows the subject to not even be making eye contact with the lens-audience will always be a strong poster, not to make eye contact yet still hold a main focal point is a hard and impressive outcome.
