Shutter Island



We can see from the poster that it will be a thriller by the colour the actors facial expression, the weather and the location. Also the actor in the picture is Leonardo di Caprio, who is well known for being in dark twisted thriller films. The colour of the poster is very dark and almost gives the audience a dangerous feel. The only light we can see from the poster is the lit up match that the actor is holding in his hand as he looks to the side in a very serious stern way. This is obvious from his facial expression that he is trying to solve a mystery, so it attracts the audiences attention even more. The weather in the background is very rainy and stormy, which is a usual for thrillers, this emphasizes it that it will be a dark thriller. Also in the poster the location is incredibly remote, as it seems to be a small island with a lighthouse and small building on top, in the middle of the ocean, again this shows the audience that it is not safe and far away from help. Also on the poster it has a tag line saying "Someone is missing", showing the audince that there could have been a muder or a person may be lost on the island, this line makes the audience think of the fim, making them intrigued to watch it.
