1. For the first part of the ancillary
products for the promotional
package for a new film, I will be
analysing posters from different
films in order to make our own for
our own film.

2. Thirdly analysing Bullet Boy poster
The front and back of the character are
juxtaposed with each other, the back
being dark and the front bright. This
connotes many different things, for
example it could suggest the
characters past was dark, this could be
the reason why the title and the
caption line seems to be placed
specifically behind the character, and
in the darker section of the poster.
The front of the poster is shown to be a
bright shining light which signifies that
there may be a new life, and suggest
the thought of hope within the future
or completely the opposite as people
are shown to see a bright light at the
end of their life.

3. The title of the film is shown
to be in a graffiti style font
signifying that it is involved
within crime as it is shown
to be printed on a wall.
Also the character is
surrounded by smoke again
another connotation of
crime in relation to smoke
from a gun shot. It may also
be implyinh there is
nothing the character can
do to escape his situation.

4. There are two images shown
within his head on this
poster, these two images
are completely different
but both from his
childhood, one shows him
as an innocent little boy
and the other shows the
violence of him holding a
gun.
Also this is backed up by the
colours, as red symbolises
fire and danger.

5. The title is shown behind a slogan
to the film ‘You only get one
shot at life’ this is something
that will attract an audience as
they will be thinking ‘why?’
which will lead the audience
on, also it could have two
meanings, first meaning that
you only get one chance at
night and secondly that you
will only have one shot with a
gun either to ruin someone’s
life or save it, this therefore
gives you an indication what
the film is about.

6. The close up on the mans face
suggests that he is the main
character and that as the
audience you will follow him
through the narrative. The
close up adds to the drama and
impact of which the poster
already creates through other
aspects such as the deep
colours used.
Similarly the close up allows us to
see the characters facial
expressions, which appear to
be deeply thoughtful and
reflective.
