From this movie poster I get a clear idea that this film is going to consist of very few 2 at max. I think this from the quote at the top of the poster that says, “I’m so sorry Paul”. What I really like about this poster is that even though the character can’t see where he is neither can the audience which makes us feel like the character in the box, as we want to know where he is located. The style in which the title is wrote in I find very interesting and enticing to the film, this is because it looks like it has been carved into the poster, which could be showing the audience that the character is trapped.
The setting for this film, which the audience will be able to tell from the poster is that the setting in this film is going to be very limited probably only to where the man is. Along with the camera angle of this poster, which is a long shot, it shows the isolation this character is in and will most likely be in for the film. The lighting in this poster again shows the amount of isolation that this character is going to be in during the film. The use of the orange illuminesent lighter is to imply that there is the smallest hope for this character to resolve the situation that he is in and gives the sense of success.
The costume the character is wearing in this poster looks very dirty and torn up, this could be suggesting maybe he was kidnapped, and they put him in some horrible clothes so that he would have had nothing which would have belonged to him I get a sense that he has been kidnapped this is because he has a gag around his mouth along with tied up hands which to the audience is suggesting that he is in danger. Along with the character’s costume we can see from is facial expressions that he is shocked and that he could be scared which makes sense as he doesn’t know where he is.
The position of the character lying down, shows that during this film there is not going to be much movement which in a way is very clever as it will make the audience be in the moment with the character, and whatever is happening to him us as the audience in a way will be feeling the same way that he is feeling while he is trapped.
The genre In this film in my opinion is going to either be a horror or a thriller, or it could even be a combination of both this is because the vagueness of the poster shows to the audience of how much we don’t know about what is around him, it leaves us in a suspenseful way as we are eager to try and find out what has happened in this movie which has led to the point that the poster has showed.
A potential plot for this film that I think it could be is about a blackmail. I get this feeling from the quote as all we know is someone is sorry for something they did but us as the audience doesn’t know what which will manage to entice people who have seen this poster as they will want to know what situation has happened which could have led this man to be in a box in the darkness. Another plot for this film could be about the man awakes in the box which looks like a wooden coffin, with little more than a lighter which we could imply from the man holding the lighter in the poster, and his ever-growing anxiety as he has no clue what to do in the situation he is in. he could also be faced with a dwindling oxygen supply which adds to the ever-growing anxiety and horror because he will be pancaking. So, he must fight panic, as he awaits a rescue that may not arrive in time. Which if the director only uses camera angles in the coffin it will add to the suspense as we would only know as much as him so we wouldn’t know if he would be anywhere near to being rescued by anyone.
I think this film would suit people who are invested in mysteries and films that will manage to keep you on the edge of your seat all the way throughout the film from start to finish. All the use of lighting/colour and costume/facial expressions in this poster are all the use of mise-en-scene, which is able to try and give the audience a little into the film without actually giving anything away and also to make the audience ask questions about the poster about what the film could be about.
