Shot Used: Long Shot

The use of this shot is so that the audience are instantly familiar with the characters and there attire and there surroundings, giving the audience and insight into the

plot of the film and allowing them to make a judgement on the characters and their behaviour.

Title: This Is England

The title is in the centre of the poster drawing the audiences eye immediately besides the characters who are stood under the title it is the main focus of the

poster and people instantly know what it is. The director Shane Meadows is also written in a spray can font which again indicates there surrounding area.

Ratings: *****

The poster also focuses on reviews and rating which have been given to the film, this allows the audience too see how many stars the film has been given and can

see whether it is worth a watch or they can get a scene of the theme of the film by reading the reviews and seeing what genres the film is.

Social Realism Poster Review: FishTank Andréa Arnold (2009):

Shot Used: Mid Shot

The shot used here is a mid shot however the protagonist is to the right of the frame rather than central. She is sitting next to a window and is peering out of it in a longing

way.

The Title: FishTank

The title is the main focus of the poster, it is on the same level as the main character and uses bold big font to draw attention too itself. The title then has a caption

underneath it which again furthers the attention draw to it.

Mis-en-scene: The Bedroom

The surroundings of the main girl in the poster are her bedroom, however when taking a closer look you are able to tell that the bedroom which he lives in has been neglected and uncared for. Due to the way we see ripped wallpaper and writing on the walls. This gives the audience and indication of the state in which the main protagonist lives and

the struggles in which she must face.
