"The Hole" Poster Analysis



Text: Reflecting light, showing juxtaposition as a hole is dark, mainly lowercase, showing a low level of panic/highly serious matter

Image: eye contact from all 4 main characters, chiaroscuro photography, sepia tone, narrator main focus, fade into background

Background: plain, works with image

Colour: almost none, tones used for dramatic effect

Selling Line: Short, reflects plot, punctuation for emphasis, same colour as film title, capital letters for emphasis

Reflection upon the plot: The 2nd image directly relates to scenes from the film, as does the use of the narrator being the main focus of the main image, as the other 3 characters' stories are told through her.  By placing Mike in front of the other 2 characters, the poster emphasises the importance he holds to both the story and to the characters, Liz.  The use of the title as the only light source shows that the plot is based around entrapment and voyeurism, and includes the title within the image.
