1. General Poster Analysis
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

2. The black clothing of Russell
Brand's character looks out of
place compared to the
brightly coloured clothing of
everyone else, suggesting that
he doesn't belong with either
of the other characters on the
poster.
The plane trails in the top of
the middle third of the poster
going through a cloud are
representational of heart
break.
The slumped, sad expression
of the lone person in the
background representational
of lost love.
The the colour of the sand
and water as well as the sunny
weather implies this is a
tropical location such as
Hawaii and due to the pale
skin of the characters this
would suggest these
characters are here on holiday
or at leisure.
The skin tight dress of the
female character implies she
is quite provocative and an
‘object’ of desire.
‘From the guys that brought
you’- this reinforces comedy
due to the casual mode of
address as well as the other
films being comedies.
The tag line suggests this film will have
elements of comedy and will be light
hearted.
The light blue colour of the
titles suggests the film is light
hearted. The colour of the
dress is suggestive of jealousy
and envy.
