'This Is England' Poster

Analyse of 'This Is England'

1. Clothes and Props

• The clothes and props are very outstanding because the cloths are very strong colours like army clothes and have ripped holes and jagged edges, which suggest that they are in gangs that often have fights or it is just a look to look scary. Also they have very big strong boots, which suggest they do a lot of walking on different terrains, or it is a look, or even to hurt people with.

2. Body Language

• The Body language is very calm, but weary, also it looks like they don't care if about the surroundings (e.g vandalism against the metal wall) and there looks like a bit of graffiti against the metal wall they have done and are covering up so if police go past they won't get caught. They are all very close together which suggest that they are trying to be intimidating, or are very good friends.

3.Facial

• The facial expression is very tough and angry, maybe looking for another gang to fight with and are trying to look badman.

4. Colors

• There colours are very dull and are trying to blending with the surroundings to look normal, and maybe they are not normal, and are trying to blend in with other people. Or are trying to hid from someone that wants to hurt them or wants something. Also the colours Red, White and Blue suggest that they are proud to be British, and at the time people didn't like foreigner so it could be a little bit racist.

5. Location they are in 

• The location looks like a estate with lots of flats behind them that look run down, which suggest they could be having a bad time at home, also they are very relax which suggest it is very quiet and could be do an big alleyway where gangs hang out so they can't be spotted easily. 

6. What they are doing

• They are casually standing looking for something or someone important or trying to hid. or they are just talking to each other.

6) The features of the film poster and the web site that suggest that it has a low budget are that the characters
aren't very well known so they wouldn't pay out a lot of money for them, also the location is on the street and in council flats which aren't very expensive, and lastly there are no real special effects.

7) The features of the film poster and the web site that suggest that it falls into the gang crime genre, because one scene is two gangs fighting, and they do graffiti on the walls, also they have shaved heads which in the 80's was fashion, then it was a symbol showing that you are strong powerful and wants a fight and they were called 'Skinheads', also they where military boots and clothing and leather jackets which suggest they are not scared of anyone and want a fight, and finally the colors are the union jack flag colors are around the screen (Red, White and Blue) which suggest they are proud of there country and might not like anyone else that come from a different country.

8) By looking at the poster and the web site I know that the target audience is men and women teenagers because in the film poster there are a mixture of men and women, and this movie would be niche ( a small minority of people), because most teens would see movies with special effects, and this movie hasn't got any special effects.

9) I can tell that the people on the poster and web site are involved in vandalism and and crime because in the poster they are casually leaning against a metal wall, and there is a bit of graffiti of the metal wall, which is vandalism so that is crime.Also what they are wearing is big boots, army clothes which suggest they what a fight and they fight.
