Fish tank Movie poster analysis

Fish tank has two movie posters, this one is from the earlier release of fish tank, And portrays the film in a very different way.

The title is Bold and Stands out a lot, it is very conflicting with the rest of the poster, Which helps make it more noticable. The words 'The most honored british film of the year' Really help sell the film, Use of the word honored over Best film of the year shows that other people have shown recoginition for the film. It also establishes the film to a different target audience, As the recognition shown might make a more film literate audience to view it.

The Awards it has recieved are made very prominant. With some very illustrious prizes such as Festival De Cannes, which the more film literate audience i mentioned earlier would be very interested in, With Cannes being one of the major film festivals.

The Background mainly shows sky, however in the bottom left corner their is a city, This gives a subtle hint towards the films setting, this could give the audience more information about the film. The costume used by the character is very different to the one used on the other poster. Her jewellery is Bold, with large hoop earings and a gold chain. The character looks Worried or intrigued, This paired with the character stareing off camera, makes you inquisitive, As you wish to know what she could be staring at that would give her such a look.

They have chosen to use a Medium shot instead of the Medium close up used in the later poster, This shows more of the character and her surroundings, She also takes up a much bigger percent of the page, Upo to 75 %, Which makes it clear that she is the main focus of the film.

The review given by Time out london praises the film highly, Which c ould influence a more Arts directed audience, As they have a good reputation among the creative, And interview many famous directors / artists / musicians.
