Selfie Poster - Poster research - Alex


  • The protagonist is the main focus of the poster which makes it so that we can't see anything in the background.
  • The genre isn't really given away by the poster and there is only one colour used - green. 
  • The actors' names aren't anywhere to be seen on the poster which is different from full length films and it shows that the people who make the film are more advertising themselves rather than the actors.
  • The actors in this film are all Asian and this is first shown on the poster. The director is also Asian and this indicates that the film may be aimed at a specific ethnic group or may be trying to send a message which is related to a specific ethnic group.
  • There are a lot of outside references on the bottom of the poster which is where the film is going to be shown.
  • There is no way of telling who the film is aimed at either from the poster because there is no indication as to what the film is about unless you know other films from the producers.
  • The title is the biggest part of the film poster so it is obvious that it's the most important piece of information.
  • The producing company logo is in the top left hand corner of the poster and this is for it to be recognised.
  • The company logo isn't usually featured in a full length film poster.
  • The yellow text works well with the green background and the names of the people involved in the making of the film is written in a larger and bolder text.
  • All of the text is central and on the bottom half of the poster so the main character can be the main focus of the poster - composition also does this.
  • Because it is a short film there is no certification.

  1. Remember to head your own posts with your name as well as the task (eg Poster research Alex), and label with name and research in this case. On this poster, you need to apply MRANG concepts too (at least 3). I think you could say more about representation here too - notice that the main character is Asian, which is unusual, and the cast and crew appear to be too. This suggests that the film maker is telling a new kind of story about their own ethnic community. You should google the director to find out more if you can.
