White Noise Poster Analysis

• White Noise the title is written in a similar font to what the picture is showing. This font with the colours used gives a cold atmosphere to the film, which prepares the audience for what the film is going to be like.
  
• The main image consists of an electrical pulse, where the shadows created are made by people, presumably the ghosts. Becasue the image is meant to be its own sourse of light, this is the only light along with the title on the poster, this shows the dark nature of the film.


• 'Micheal Keaton' is the main box office draw, his name has been put right above the title, although it is small, the font used is very clear and simple making it easy to read to ensure it is seen so it can influence the audiences positive response.


• This Poster has two taglines. The one at the top of the poster explains the title, however it doesnt give away too much of the film, it leaves the audience questioning, a portal to what? The second tagline follows on from the first, it answers the initial question, however lease the audience with another, why are they trying to contact us? What do they want? These taglines are effective becasue they give the audience a better idea of what the film is about without revealing too much and making it pointless to go and see the film.


• The Production company and director names along with other actors and actresses are featured on the poster, however not heavily, the font used to show them is very thin and quite dark, this could be becasue the director isn't that well known so although they want it featured no emphasis is put on it as it probably wouldn't be that much of an influence on the audience.
  
• The release date is written in the same font but a contrasting colour to the background unlike the billing block. This is obviously one of the main features on the poster as this lets people know when they are able to experience the film.
