The poster is used to create meaning to the person viewing
it, also to give them an idea of what the film is going to be about. The
connotation of the silhouette with a gun is that there will be violence, they
also seem comfortable holding the gun which could mean that he could be used to
the violence or has been professionally trained in using the gun. The suit can
imply that the gun has something to do with a business, or the need for the
person to go undercover. The text of the title of the movie look similar to a
maze which could give the meaning that the movie is going to be confusing and
hard to understand. The name along the top of the poster shows that the actor
has a large part in the film, the fact that there are no other names also shows
that the actor is well known and can help promote the movie alone. The tag line
of the move shows that it may be different and original; it also makes the
poster personal to the viewer as it uses the word "your". There is
text that names another film with the same director; this implies that it could
be in a similar genre. Also the film mentioned was well received, meaning that
the director is good and causing the viewer to make connections to the other
movie to help with the syntam of the poster. With the tall buildings around the
silhouette it gives the idea that the person is alone and makes the setting
look empty, which is unusual as it look like it should be a heavily populated
city. The water in the poster is very unusual, causing the viewer to question
what’s going on is the film as all the connotations don't seem to fit together
well enough to give them much understanding of the film or its plot.
