The film is set in the nineties, which can be told from the clothing the characters are wearing in the poster. You are also able to tell it is a coming-of-age story due to the characters being young.
Additionally, the young age of the characters can be told as the background looks like the wall of a high school gym.
The colours used include only a stark black against a bright lime green, and a short quote is placed directly in the middle of the poster.
The Shining is a well-known film, which enables the film poster to remain minimal, using only this iconic image of the main character, Jack, pushing his face through the door he had just axed through.
Additionally, the actual disturbing and crazed expression of Jack lets the audience know that the film is horror.
Using bright white font on a plain black background with just a little bit of red creates a very stark, bold image, and uses the bloody connotations of red to foreshadow events in the film.
(Translated) We Are The Best! is a Swedish drama film, set in Stockholm in 1982. It revolves around three 13 year old girls called Bobo, Klara and Hedvig, who start a punk band together, despite only Hedvig having musical talent.
The three young characters with their androgynous punk styles show that this film is aimed towards a target audience of people who enjoy sharing in punk culture, and younger people who are finding their own sense of style.
The drama genre can be told from the serious expressions on the girls faces, and the fairly minimal background and font.
Which task is this Lucy? There is good analysis in here, but you are making a film, so you need to focus on films, not posters.
