1. The affair although being a
TV series is a very much
inspirational piece for my
short film.
The poster itself is very
basic but shows the
viewer a lot. Unlike
normal film posters it
doesn’t have the actors
names or star ratings all
over the poster.
The poster is shot in
what looks a lot like a
murky ocean. The
murkiness shows secrets
and white lies. It shows a
theme of a hidden life
and uncertainty of the
film
The actors on the
poster are looking over
there shoulders giving
the feeling of them
being wary of their
surroundings and them
doing something wrong.
The title also being in
the murky ocean adds
to the confusion of the
scenario as the title is
blurred at the beginning
and end of the full title
The idea of the poster
being pretty much
empty suggests gives
the audience more to
imagine in terms of
themes of the
upcoming TV show

2. Unfaithful is a film from
2002 and is very similar
to the short film I am
shooting. The target
audience is very similar
(also being adults) and
they are both classified
as romantic thrillers.
The two main actors are
shown the husband and
the wife. The man
looking serious towards
the wife on another
sexier body. We can tell
straight away from the
poster that there is an
affair going on.
The font colour
shows an
uncertainty as the
bronze coloured
text blends with the
background
displaying grey
areas this to my
understanding is
what the director is
going for.
The characters on the
poster are portraying
the mystery element
as the two actors are
faded into the image
as black on black
creates the element of
mystery.
The idea of adding
the tag of the
director from. This
tries to bring across
the audience from
fatal attraction and
the audiences of the
two films are also
very similar.
