Snatch Poster Analysis



People
There are a number of famous actors starred in the film "Snatch" which have been placed on the poster as advertisement. Actors in this film such as Brad Pitt, Vinne Jones and Jason Statham which are all very well known, especially in this genre. These actors coming together in a British film will attract many audiences as they would be interested in how well they perform together, also Brad Pitt being a famous American actor audiences would be interested to see how his performance is within in a British film.

Design
The design overall is quite plain but gives us a strong message. The impression that they're a gang of some sort and something bad has just happened and/or they are expecting a fight. The actors are all stood there as if they're looking at you and waiting for you. The dog is jumping out at you which gives the us the sense there is some violence.

Colour
The colours are very plain, white background and plain black title. I think the background is plain white to make the actors the centre of attention, as there is no colours behind them the audience will focus on the characters. The actors are all wearing rather different colours which gives us the idea they're very individual and different which makes it more interesting for the audience, a bunch of very different characters - anything could happen.

Title
The title is very plain but bold, the black title could be meaning there is some kind of danger of some kind as black usually gives us the sense something bad is happened or going to happen. The boldness of the title is right in our faces, which makes it incredibly easy to read. With a short word as the title it sticks in the audiences mind, therefore it could "eat away at us until we watch the film".

Other Information
At the bottom is a list of all the names that are involved in the film, this may attract audiences if they see a name they recognize and enjoy their other work. They have put in bold "Coming Soon" which gives us the feeling of excitement for the release of the film. They have provided a website in red bold writing which really stands out to the audience. Many people will go to there to find out more information about the film, such as release date, who else is in the film and such. Through reading more about it they will probably tell their friends about what they have read, then they will pass that on and the word gets around about the new film coming soon!
