Immediately we can see two figures who both take exactly the same amount of space on the page, yet are on opposite sides of the posters. This suggests that they are equals but are binary opposites to one another or hostiles. The use of colour is harsh which suggests a sophisticated and formal look which gives audiences a hint to the serious tone of the film. Also the dark and light colours could connote good and evil.The way the poster splits down the centre of the entire page suggests that the protagonist and antagonist have equal power. The split then affects the text turning them different colours depending on the side that they are on even connecting the characters on the page.
''We Are All Hostiles'' suggests that they two men aren't so different even though they have various cultural differences.
I love how unique this poster looks It is certainly something i wouldn't mind replicating for my poster. It's simple yet complex design looks really effective and engaging and makes you want to find out more about the stories plot. We can also see the the date and the production blurb. We also see the names of the actors involved which are placed over the main image.
Overall I really like this poster due to its split down the middle which suggests two factions of people living side by side. I also like how each side has contrasting colours to the other. For the setting of my poster i would place it within the woods as it is one of my main locations for filming my trailer
I think that this poster is a really effective poster because of its use of colour and design so this is something that I will definitely come back to when the creation of my poster happens.
This poster reminds me of ying and yang which suggests that the two character's at the top counter one another yet whilst retaining a quality similar to that of their foe. Bale's characters is shrouded in darkness whilst the Studi's character is in the light suggesting he is better morally.
From researching into this film these men are actually allies and not foe. They are being hunted by native American's. However someone who is viewing this poster, without knowledge of the film, may interpret them as enemies one being the protagonist and antagonist as they face the opposite way to one another and therefore, some would say, have different views to each other.
