Children of men- poster analysis

-The main colours of the posters background is blue and grey which are associated with sic-fi films, this gives us a clear indication of the genre.

-There is a red eye which resembles a women's uterus with an unborn baby inside, this links with with the tagline 'no child has been born for 18 years',

- the red writing implies that the film will involve danger and death, the red colour of the eye with the unborn baby inside tell us that the existence of children and babies are in a lot of danger. The tagline ' no child has been born for 18 years' tells us exactly this and how the human race is in danger.

- The glass is smashed this connotes, violence, crime and chaos all things that could feature in this film.

- We know that the film is set in the future as the date '2027'' is in bold at the top. The fact that the actor is gazing straight into the camera shows that the future is unknown which make the movie mysterious.

-The broken glass is almost shaped as a heart which could symbolise the loos of love in the world and maybe the loneliness and isolation of the man in the poster.

- the fact that the man is staring into the camera is the main focus of the poster implies he is the man that has to save mankind and that all hope lies on his shoulders.

- all three tag lines ' The last days of the human race', 'No child has been born for 18 years' and ' He must protect our only hope'. This gives us the overall story line of the movie, the way it is phrased and set out is very intriguing and when someone reads in on the poster it makes it very tough to not go and want to see what happens in the film.
