Analysing Forgetting Sarah Marshall Poster


As you can see by the poster the film is a romantic comedy. You can see that it is a romantic film by identifying the large shape in the middle as a heart and you may be able to tell that its also a funny film by the Poster's layout and "From the Makers of The 40 year old virgin and Knocked up" These are also romantic comedies giving the impression that the producer is into making that kind of film. The large split in the middle of the heart suggests that the man is being metaphorically pulled apart by two women who both may be fighting for his heart. However it could also evoke his own indecision. As you can probably see by the man's entire, he seems confused as to what he's doing by the fact that he's wearing a colourless pair of trousers and flip flops. This also may inform us of an exotic twist in the film as well as his flowery necklace and the colar of his colourful shirt. The more important information on the poster is seperated by the fact that it is written in a different colour. The celebrities that star in the film are also easily noticed by the large white font that stands out against a blue background, naming the celebrities on the poster is an obvious selling point as having heard of these celebrities it will draw the viewer in.
