The Muriel poster has a powerful shot of the back of three men walking through what looks to be a shopping centre. I really love the sense of mystery that this film poster portrays, we want to know why these men look so mysterious and suspicious, what are they up to? From the characters clothing we get the impression that the men are up to no good. The poster gives the audience an indicator of the film genre (drama) but doesn't reveal too much, influencing people to go and see the film to find out more. I also like the way the background image of this poster looks as if its been folded and almost like the image has been taken from a newspaper. The colours of this poster are dark browns and creams, the 'Muriel' film title stands out in a large dirty white font, when designing our film poster we will need to bare in mind colours which will stand out against the primarily black and purple background. I think the dirty white title font is perfect for this poster as its eye-catching stands out without being too offensive. Picking a muted white / cream font instead of a bright white font is a clever idea as a bright white colour might have been too harsh against the dark background, the colours within this film poster all fit well together. Having minimal colours on this poster also draws the audiences eye to the muted yellow wording which stands out against the rest of the writing, the yellow writing (which is in french) lets the audience know all of the awards which the film has won. It is important to include awards which the film has received on the poster as it may influence more people to go and see the film if they know that others have enjoyed the production and that it has won numerous awards for its success.
