Poster

The large ball of fire directly behind the running man creates an image of panic and danger as he escaping the fire. The orange colours creates a very dangerous and vibrant feel as the audience have full attention towards the centre of the poster. Around the fire is a dark area which creates a mysterious plot and emotion.

The audience have empathy for the male character as he have saner following him on his path. He appears to be wearing some sort of fire suit to protect him. I believe from the airplane in the back ground, the film is set in the war time which automatically brings in an older audience who have a passion for war.

The slogan for this film is "war is a drug" this connotes that war has an addictive quality and that men strive for violence and revenge. This is very interesting as from many peoples points of view war is something to escape and avoid due to the anxiety of murdering human beings.
The title of the film- "HURT LOCKER" has the connotation that a lot of pain and agony is involved in the war, however the locker implies that the men keep there feelings and emotions closed inside a locker and don't let anybody in to there lives. This title could mean something completely different however my view on it is from the persecute with from the soldiers!

Along the top of the film there are several unique selling points such as the nominees from the best actor awards. This will allow the audience To see what exiting qualities the film has to look forward too! If the acotsr it's are well known and good, the audience will have a better idea of the quality of the film and the budget given to the film.
