Last weekend I stumbled across this movie, as my folks were half hour into it when I walked through the front door and sank into the couch ready to be captivated. To be honest it’s less about the poster this week than it is about the beauty of this great film that in its own right is a fantastic piece of visual art.
The locations and scenes within the movie are wonderfully directed, transporting you from a 1920s infirmary to a fantasy world and back through the stories of a stunt man to a little girl who has also been admitted for a broken arm.
I don’t want to give a great deal of the plot away other than that but if you watch the trailer you’ll get a great idea of what the film is about and witness a handful of the incredible scenes that combine to form this awesome movie.
The poster for The Fall is actually very reflective of the themes and scenes within the movie from the Taj Mahal outline to the butterfly nose. The main character in the fantasy story, “The Masked Bandit”, is displayed to the left with the little girl from the film’s eyes in the centre of the poster, making this design one that gives you everything from the film but no clear idea of the relevance they have. This is definitely one you will have to watch to find out more.
If you've been following my blog
series you'll have noticed that every Tuesday is Movie Day, which is why I've
decided to re-brand as TueVie Day! Appropriate right?
So, this week we’re going to look
at a great film poster for a movie that is ideal for couples or if you’re in a
feel good-ish mood you could watch this on your own too: 500 Days of Summer.
The storyline is fairly good and entangles a love scenario with a pursuit of
happiness story, starring the beautiful Zooey Deschanel and the very cool Joseph
Gordon-Levitt.
Looking at the film poster, its
design is simple with Joseph Gordon-Levitt wearing a plain white T-shirt that
has the title of the film and scenes of the movie placed on it. Features of the
T-shirt have been maintained through the design, i.e. a crease is visible
through the movie scenes to make it look like it was actually a printed design.
Although the design gives away the
fact that it is a romantic movie, there is not much giveaway of the actual
storyline, however, the scenes provided are typical of films of this nature,
which have proven to sell seats in the past. What is unique is the choice of
light blue and white with a grainy gauze over the design, giving it a vintage
indie-style appearance (appropriate for the film style itself).
Overall, I enjoyed the film and
suggest you take a look at the trailer below to get an idea of how fun the film
is.
