film that premiered on TV as opposed to at the cinema. Release Date: The premier date is pictured at the bottom of the poster. It is isolated from the rest of the poster by a thick orange bar which makes it stand out and attract attention. Film Title: A simple font has been used for the title which is similar to the font used by a lot of websites and computers. The two Ls have been made into forward slashes similar to the start of a web address (http://). A small yet effective feature that ties in with the poster and films main theme of bullying via the internet. Actors Names: The actors names are featured clearly at the top of the poster however they are not its main focus. Given that neither actor is particularly famous the poster cannot employ star marketing to pull in their audience. The main focus is instead centred on hints at the films main themes. Makers: The credit at the top and bottom of the poster to the abc family tells the audience quite firmly that this film has been made by a well know media company. The companys fame and loyal following is used to draw in a larger audience as opposed to the actors celebrity. Colour Palette: The cool calm colours of the poster convey the artificial nature of the bullying, as if the character was stuck and isolated in an artificial, virtual world. The protagonists clothing contrasts with the background and makes her stand out from the background. Main Image: The main image conveys the theme that the pictured character feels isolated and alone. Her main focus is her laptop which cements that the film will centre on this girl being bullied via the internet. Her body language connotes that she is nervous and afraid as she is hunched up. The background does not distract the viewers attention from the main character. The subtle words hidden in the floor give the viewer an idea about the abuse this girl has faced.
Tagline: Words can hurt. The font used for the tagline is again very technological and plain. The typeface used by many websites and computer that continues the theme of cyberbullying. The colour choice is also significant as these are the only black words on the screen. They contrast with the rest of the poster and stand out. The colour also conveys that this is the real darker issue in the film. The tagline is used to continue to convey to the view the main themes of the film; hopefully drawing in an audience who may be interested in the subject matter.
