The main colours used in this are black, red/orange and white and shadowing is created as well and this furthermore creates an enigma within the picture itself. The sense of the unknown grabs attention even more and with the unusual colours, this evokes a strong sense of contrast and gives an eerie feel to the whole poster.
The row of houses at the bottom lining the collar bone of the photograph of the protagonist could be mistaken for lining of clothing but then it could denote where the film is set; in a humble suburban area. But then it subverts the conventions of a suburban area of being innocent and quiet with such an uncanny name.
The font of the title of the poster, ‘Disturbia’, is in typewriter writing which makes it seem more documented or personal. The font is simple but the word itself is quite a chilling word and conforms to the stereotype of a thriller because the word creates tension.
The word ‘Disturbia’ is juxtaposed next to the protagonists lips to make it look like it is being said. This heightens any fear created before and conforms again to the stereotype of an enigmatic thriller.
The tagline juxtaposed along the top of the poster evokes a sort of realism to the audience and this creates fear and paranoia, elements commonly present in a thriller movie. The fact that it is juxtaposed along the top goes against the golden rule and this means that in order to read it the audience has to avert their gaze from the middle and look at different parts of the poster, hence they will look at it for longer and absorb in it more.
main picture however conforms to the golden rule and because most of the action is in the middle and are of different contrasting colours, this makes it a whole lot more interesting and intriguing to look at for a longer period of time.
This poster is an inspiration for us as as a group we have planned to use a similar close up shot with contrasting colours. The enigmas created within the poster are inspirational, also.
