Page 1: Tomboy Poster Analysis

The title of the film is large and unavoidable especially since the colour of the writing contrasts with blue the background making it stand out

The poster screams simplicity which is typical of independent films as they want the audience to focus more on the quality of the actual film

The main character Laure (Zoe Heran) is the only one visible, which establishes her importance in the film. Her gender is not immediately obvious. However the title tells the audience that she is girl

The institutional information credits the makers of the film

‘A film by Céline Sciamma’ is written in French which tells the audience that this is an international film and suggest the film is subtitled

This suggests that the film won award at the Berlin International Film Festival. Which is a prestigious award show for independent films. Meaning this film was enjoyed by critics.

The pink and flowery background contrasts with the boyish look of the main character. Which suggests that she hasn’t completely ignored her feminine side

The messy hair is effective as it makes the main character appear more boisterous. This is also effective because girls are stereotypically known for caring about their looks. Therefore, this subverts the stereotype, which is expected of an independent film.
