'Blindess'

1
The name of this film has been positioned in the
style of an eye-sight test chart, used to
measure how well a persons eye sight is. This
hints to what the story is going to be about. The
text used for this heading is a sans serif. This
font is easy to read by anyone, either up close
or from a distance, which is where people will be
standing from when asked to read this in an eye
examination.
The image in the background is of a figure with
their hand reached out in front of them. This
hand position suggests to the audience that this
person is blind and using their hand to navigate
around, due to the lack of sight. This image is
also in soft focus, making it look extremely
blurry. This also helps the audience understand
the lack of sight that this person is
feeling. The angle of which this photo has been
taken in is slightly tilted. This represents the
disorientation the person is feeling because they
have lost their sight.
The transparency of this image has been adjusted
so that it is slightly see-through. This decision
has been made not only to make the text stand out
much more, but also to symbolise how everything
is not clear and obvious for someone who has lost
their sight.
The background has been faded out to just white.
This could symbolise how the people within this
film lack sight. It could also represent the
walls within a hospital where the people within
this film go to be treated.

The woman standing at the front of this image is
the lead character in this movie. By positioning
her in the front and making her appear in full
colour means that a lot of attention to her, and
because she is a well known actress, this makes
it a strong selling point. Secondly, the clothes
that she is wearing and her light hair colour
makes her appear to be extremely innocent, and in
some way, almost some kind of saint. This
suggests that she is a good character and helps
many people within this movie. The way she is
standing in the front and focusing into the
distance also suggests that she is leading
everyone behind her.
Everyone seen in this poster, apart from the
woman, seems to be focusing on different things,
for example the man at the front is focusing
downwards, whereas the person behind is focusing
to the right. This suggests that these people
have all lost their sight, as they are all
unaware of what to look at.
The title is written in black, in a sans serif
font and all in capital letters. This contrasts
immensely with the faded and almost transparent
like background behind it, therefore making it
stand out extremely well.
The background has been faded out to just white.
This could symbolise how the people within this
film lack sight, yet it could also represent the
walls within a hospital where the people within
this film go to be treated.
A blur has been used, especially on the people
towards the end of the line. This creates depth
in the picture, making is seem as if the line of
people is endless. The blurriness also symbolises
the lack of sight that these people are
experiences.
