Harry Brown

The film Harry Brown, starring Micheal Caine as the title character. The film has very dark and mature themes, ranging from social comentary to gun crime.

The 1st thing that catches your eye in this poster, is the large target, which also contains the title, actors and produces, the white, blue and red could be a reference to 'the italian job', another film that famously started Micheal Caine. The red and blue, are the brightest colours in the frame, which is immedietly eye catching, the target is also similar to a mod symbol from the 1960's, which could also be a reference to Caine's age.

The figure on the right is clearly reconisable for many people in Britian, which could attract views for the film. His large dark clothing hints at him having a dark persona, as well as the gun in his hand, his grey face, half covered in darkness, also hints at him being evil or the "bad guy". He also contrasts to the white back ground, this further hints at him being a criminal, or a law breaker.

The writing at the top is red, which would hint at violence, and the high rating reviews are a good way to attract people to watching the film.
