Children of men
The blue colouring is commonly used for
science fictions and based on what the heading says about ‘The year 2027: the
last days of the human race’ tells us that the film is set in the dystopian
future. ‘No child has been born for 10 years, we must protect our only hope’ is
powerful because of the devastating idea of the human race coming to a stop.
The softer colour on Clive Owen’s face contrasted with the darker colouring of
the rest of the poster signifies clearly that he is the good guy and puts the
audience on his side.
The red colour of the lettering symbolizes
blood being spilt, giving the audience a sense of fear and signifying that
there are some horror elements in the film.
The broken glass gives the feeling of
destruction and wreckage showing that in the film the film has lots of action
that is destructive, signifying that it is a thriller. The broken glass also shows us how broken
society is in the film.
The
low-angle camera shot symbolizes that Clive Owen’s character is the hero of the
film. His expression is very forlorn and serious, reflecting on the hard work
he has to do to try to make things right. It also tells us that he is the type
of hero we need more than the hero we want.
The picture of the bleeding world also signifies
that the film is about the harm inflicted on the planet. The bleeding
represents how we’re ‘bleeding’ the world of its resources. It tells us that
the Earth is ‘in pain’ in the film, which signifies that nature is unbalanced,
presumably by human activity.
