Moonlight poster deconstruction

Moonlight Poster Deconstruction-

• This poster on the whole remainsrather ambiguous as it doesnt provide much information about the plot of the film, yet it still intrigues the audience into wanting to watch.
• The font of the title is in the same font as in the film, allowing the audeicne to make that connection to the poster, making it identifiable. 
• The extreme close up shot of the character is framed in the centre diverting all attention to him, and in particular to his eyes. He is looking directly into the camera and to the audience, which creates an effective connection with the audience. 
• The image of his face is cleverly separated into three separate images which are effortlessly merged together by the use of three different colours. these colours are all in a deep blue colour pallet which  provides connotations matching the title 'Moonlight'. 
• The background is all negative space in the colour blue, again ensuring no distractions are taken from the centre of the picture. 
• There are several scars across his face and the one on his head is covered by the durag, this suggests that he may feel ashamed about this part of his life and that there may be a deeper reason for the scar.
• The audience may identify the other scars on his nose again making the audience question the causes luring them in to watch the film.
• The third image shows the man having facial hair representing masculinity and that he may have grown and matured in the third picture. This suggest that each of the three pictures represents different stage of his life and documents how he has grown.
