The Beach analysis


The poster has a blue and black tint throughout the image, this connotes suspicion and fear therefore creates a mysterious atmosphere to the poster. This suggests the theme to be an adventurous and unexplained journey.

The main Character is on the side of the poster he is seen as a silhouette which makes him appears to be dangerous and peculiar protagonists toward the film. The image of him is a close up with low key lighting as it is not so realistic because it has a contrast with the other image of the long shot beach. The colour of the beach is in conflict with the protagonist as that is a darker image, and makes the audiences eye move around the page and questions why these two have been placed like this. They also give to different feelings towards the audience, as the beach is light suggesting a calm tone and the character is shadowed.

The title of the film is placed in the right bottom corner of the poster and is bold with a fiery fill. This proposes danger and jeopardy. The text is written simply to make it easier to the audience to understand. All the credits are in a white colour which makes it stand out from the rest, because it is important information.

The name at the top is in large font size, because it’s the name of the protagonist character and he himself is very famous so this draws to the character.
