INSPIRATION

Okay, to distance myself from the 'cute' image of a film about animals, I have started looking at film drama posters. One thing I have noticed about myself today is that I like poster

s with people's faces in them - which you will see now.

As I chose so many posters that I liked, I am going to post them all, but only talk about a select few (If that's okay with you).

The firs poster I have decided to look at is the poster for 'Little Miss Sunshine', a quirky drama about a dysfunctional family who journey to California so their oddball daughter can compete in a beauty contest. Trust me, it is a barrel of laughs. The picture on the poster is taken from a scene of the film, and I like it because it is humourous, yet doesn't say too much about the plot.

The next film poster I looked at was for 'La Haine', Mathieu Kassovitz's

acclaimed drama about life in the Parisien suburbs during the

riots. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it to you. The poster literally just shows one of the main characters, Vinz's (played by Vincent Cassel) eyes, and the quote "A BRUTALLY BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE" leaves the plot totally open and creates tension for the audience.

The next film poster that inspired me was this one for 'The King's Speech' -

although it is not a poster that I have actually seen before, it definitely made an impact on me. The contrast of the colours used, and again it was not a complete giveaway about the plot - if you hadn't heard about the film, you would get no clues about the plot from the poster, although personally, this poster makes me want to find out about the film.

Also, please excuse the terrible formatting of pictures here!
