Poster 3 - One Flew over the cuckoos nest - analyse

On the poster of Over the cuckoo's nest you can distinctly see the main actors name of Jack Nicholson, this is because it will get more people to watch it, because of the well known actor and also a well known diector as well. Underneath the title it has a small paragraph saying about how it has won five academy awards, this is another way of getting people to watch it because more people will come and watch it if they have seen movies with the actor in it.

The main colours of the poster is red on the title, that the firstthing you see on the page, Then as you move down you see hangcoffs over the o's on the title, this gives you a bit of a clue of what the film is about without giving to much away. And as you get to the picture of the actor, Jack Nicholson you see that there is more to the movie, His hair is scuffy like he doesn't or can't look after himself. His facial expression looks like he doesn't know what's going on with the world. The poster looks phographically like they have just taken it.

I think the unique selling point of this poster is how simple it is, it has no background to it so you are jsut focusing on the picture on the poster, also with it winning 5 awards it also makes it a unique selling point as well. This film I think is aimed at adults who like Jack Nicholson or fans who have watched his other films, also people who like the diectors previous films. With the poster it doesn't give to much detail away which leads you to believe there might be something more to the film. I think the poster is aimed at older people though because it's dead simple and doesn't have vibrant colours and stands out more than other posters.

I think the poster wasn't that expensive to make simply because it's really simple and doesn't go into to much detail with the film. I also by looking at the poster, to me it looks more like an independent film, with it being simple and also having the 5 academy awards underneath the title.

The poster I don't think is very effensive, but I think once you have watched the movie you may understand the poster a bit more than what you did at the start. I think the poster is effective because it makes the audience want to know more about the film, the poster doesn't have any tag lines on it which makes it more unique.
