Dog Soldiers

Dog Soldiers is a British horror cult film, the basic story line of the film, is a group of a soldiers who are on a training mission, suddenly find themselves surrounded and out numbered by a group of werewolves.

I choose to research this film, because much like our film, it's set in a forest, with the trailer not full showing but heavily implying who or what's attacking the soldiers. I enjoyed the film a great deal, because of the great characters and the great sense of comic timing and the comic relief in the film.

The blue and black tones, can denote authority, which since the film revolves around the army, peoples places in the army and their relastionships along with a civilian who is also surrounded by the werewolfes.

In the shadow of the man there is a clearly a image that looks like a wolf man of sorts, along with the title dog soldiers and the tag line "Six Men. Full Moon. No Chance" it is fairly safe to say that the film is about werewolfs. Particually when the review at the top makes a pun on the word bitch, which confirmes that it's a werewolf movie. It could also be considered that having a review at the top could be unorthadox. The wolf like shadow takes up more room and is a great deal more over whelming with a sense of mystery. This show the binary oppostion between the shadow like wolf and the smaller army man is clear.

The anchorage for the film is that it is clearly set in a forest, or that at least a part of the film is set in the forest.

The font used is very cracked up and distored this makes the poster look gritty and some what surreal. The slashes turn the font in to a logo of sorts that would be easily reconisable. The tagline and the website are both in yellow, they are the only bit's of yellow in the entire poster, making they both stand out and grab attention.
