The social network film poster is relativity simple, but it does draw in audience attention. The film is about the social networking site Facebook and cleverly the poster has the same layout as the Facebook browser. This gives the audience a good indicator about the what the film narrative is about without directly telling them, also this layout may be appealing to audiences, especially those who use Facebook, as they will be familiar with the layout and may be influence to go and watch the film. The main character is glaring at the audience behind the text (this is a typical drama genre poster convention), the character looks like he is staring at a computer, again hinting at the narrative of the film and adds a sense of social realism to the poster. One major issue I have with this poster is that the film name isn't very obvious at all, its at the top right hand side of the poster in small font, sideways, which isn't very clear at all. The tag line 'You Don't Get To 500 Million Friends Without A Few Enemies' is bigger than the film title and takes up most of poster, it does stand out in white especially with the different fonts and writing styles, the fact the tagline is over the top of the characters face suggests that Facebook is a very important factor in his life. The tagline makes the audience wonder even more about the film narrative. Overall I do like this poster and the Facebook browser style background although the film title does need to be bigger and more obvious to audiences as at a first glance it will not be noticed.
