In class we started to analyse posters. Our group was given the 'Pulp Fiction' poster.
The unique selling points of this poster are that it is a Quentin Tarantino film, the poster also says what other work he has done (true romance and reseviour dogs), the high profile cast and the genre indicators.
The genre indicators are that Uma Thurman has a gun in front of her showing the audience that this film will contain crime and violence. She is smoking cigarettes and her body language is very confusing, she is lying on a bed with her head titled towards the camera (this could show a sexual part of the film) however her legs are crossed in a child like fashion which shows her to be innocent. The lamp in the background is off balance and the pillow is slanted, this could being trying to show how the film is different from other crime dramas and does not follow the genric conventions.
The poster is set out like a cheap trashy paperback novel, the creases in the cover show that it is old, however the creases in the bottom right hand corner show that the book have been read many times. The poster tries to look older than it actually is, like it is a film from the 70s, the font helps with this as it is old fashioned.
