'Is Anybody There?' Poster Deconstruction


     This is a poster for the film 'Is Anybody There?' which is a British drama. Although we are doing a social realism trailer we decided to look at this film as it included an unexpected friendship between an older man and a young boy who is interested in the idea of the supernatural. 

It is obvious from this poster that the film is not a social realism as the fact that it has a famous actor in it is strongly highlighted at the to of the poster in a bold, yellow font. This shows that the actors are a main attraction to the film. 

The use of the colours blue and yellow makes the poster bright and also implies happiness. The yellow is reflected in the text, the bus stop and also in the young boys clothing, the only thing that does not fit into the colour scheme is the man's clothing which in entirely black, this creates a sense of mystery. He contrasts with the environment and the boy further suggesting an unlikely friendship.
