.At The top of the poster there is critical acclaim by the Los Angeles Time saying "Brilliant, A Work Of Art" which is used to help sell the poster with positive feedback. Seeing as the poster has critical acclaim this indicates that the poster was released after the official release date of the film.
.The poster is split in two halves, with the an eye on top and the four main characters at the bottom.
Four characters all look lost, starring in different directions. Could suggest that the characters are all in a lost state of mind.
.The dilated pupil can connote to deep thoughts as the film is titled "Requiem for a Dream" and dreams are thoughts. It can also be connoted to drug use as pupils dilate with drug use.
REQUIEM in large font because requiem means "to celebrate for a death" so it emphasis on killed dreams. The word "dream" is writtenin red which makes it stand out and connotes danger, blood and other bad elements again emphasising on the killed dreams.
.Above the title it reads "From the director of π" and under the title it reads "A film by Darren Aronofsky" which means they are using the director Darren Aronofsky as a USP.
.The four main cast members names are placed at the top of the poster in a small font. This means less emphasis is put on the cast meaning they are not being used as much as tghe director to sell the film.
How does the poster communicate the genre of the film? What clues are provided regarding narrative? Who is the poster targeting?
