Attack the Block - Film poster Review

Media Language 

The first thing you see when you look at this poster is that is that it is a film that is based in London but that it is also a Sci-Fi film. On this poster they have 7 character which are the 7 main characters of this film. We have one of the characters at the front of them all which mean that he must be the leader of all of them or that the film is based around his life. The other 6 character must be characters that help him along the way. This poster is very dark and gloomy this suggests that this film is a dark film but also it looks like it takes place during the night. Behind the characters there is a large building that looks like it would be a council block and this suggests to me that it is based in London, there are also rocks falling from the sky which suggests to me that this is a movie about aliens taking over the world and the characters have to stop them some how. On this poster there are 6 males characters and one Female character, the male characters are dressed like they don't have that much money which suggest that they live in a rough area. The woman However looks like she earns enough but not enough to live in a nice flat. The camera is at a low angle showing a bit of the building that they are standing on but this also makes us fell as if they have power over us. That we are looking up to them like they are looking up to whatever is falling from the sky. The tittle for this film is at the bottom of the poster along with two audience awards. At the top of the poster we have the words saying "INNER CITY VS OUTER SPACE". We then have the film credits going around the poster creating a block. 

Narrative

The poster for this film suggests to me that the films is going to be dark as the look of the poster shows this. it also shows us that this film is going to involve some action as one of the characters has a weapon on their back. The characters come across as being rough them selfs and that they would survive something like an alien invasion. They also look like they are ready for the battle that it going to come. On the building that the characters are standing on there is an claw mark which suggest that they are aliens that have come from space.

Audience

The audience for this film are people over the age of 18. The reason that is think this is the way the poster is portrayed for example, one of the characters has a weapon on his back which mean that he is probably going to be killing something and thats not really something for children to be seeing. It also looks like it would be quite graphic because the poster is dark and gloomy and the fact the character has a weapon i think its going to be graphic. Also the characters their selfs look like teenagers possibly over the age of 18 so that could be linked the the age limit. The claw on the side of the building also suggests to me that the aliens in this movie would not be suitable to children and that they might possibly have nightmares from seeing this film.
