Poster Work: Gone Baby Gone

I like this poster because it highlights the single, central character, due to his pose, he looks like he is potentially mourning. The gun in his hand shows that he is willing to go to extreme lengths for vengeance, and also the background and the way that the sun is rising suggests that he has limited time. This of course fits in with my theme. The simpleness of the font and the use of a simple tag line means that not too much is going on in the poster, often posters try to have too much in them, this however gives little away as to the plot of the film. The rising sun also provides rich colour, so there is a contrast between the light at the bottom of the screen and the darkness at the top.
