The film poster for 'It's kind of a funny story' uses few colours which makes the pictures stand out. The main colour used is blue which is used a lot through the film to generate the atmosphere the creators want. Blue has connotations of sadness which is the main focus of the film and so gives the audience an insight as to what the films about. The colour blue is also used through costumes as the characters seem to be wearing hospital uniforms which may implicate death.
The font used is simple which implies a more serious tone of the film and so shows that the target audience is older and more mature, which is a similar target audience to mine. Therefore, I would like to consider using a similar font for my poster or trailer to attract my audience.
The three main characters are shown intertwined with the titles all looking happy which contradicts the images below of the two characters dressed in the dull uniform. The location may intrigue the audience as it's rare to see people in hospital uniforms together looking out over rooftops.
I like this poster as it's quite simple but gives the atmosphere of a happy different kind of film to other products already produced. I however, could use the three main character as the focus of bringing in my audience as the actors I'm using are not well known and so having their names and pictures as the main attraction on the poster wouldn't have the same impact.
