Analysis
The first thing we notice about this poster is The state of the people in the picture. They are all wearing quite casual clothes, normal looking people. All of them look like they have been through the wars. Cuts and bruises all over the body, dirty clothes and a baby on one of the them. This doesn't really tell the audience much about the film but it gives us a indicator that these guys are going to go through hell in it. The fact that Phil is positioned at the back of the three guys tells us that he is the more mature of the three. His is the man furthest away from the mess, telling the audience he would be the more sensible of the group and trys to stay out of the group, or this could indicate that he is the puppet master and instigator of the group and the two in front of him are at his will. Alan who is positioned on the left of the group is holding a baby, the baby i wearing the same sunglasses as Alan. This could suggest that they are seen as the same person. Alan is seen as a baby more than the baby as Alan. So this tells us that Alan is immature and acts like a kid to the others.
Colour
The colour of the poster is very mixed all over the picture, around the group and the head mast is a bright colour that jumps off the page, for the corners of the poster and the colour of clothes that they are wearing is a very dirty brown colour just indicating and emphasising again the circumstances of the film. Like the group have just been through a lot.
How I'm going to use this within my poster
This photo is showing the characters in states after the hangover. So its telling to audience a bit about the story already just in one photo. Now this technique is very effective in the way that the audience can learn something new about the film and the general plot perhaps within the photo. This is what I'm going to be using in my Poster, i want the audience to learn something within the poster to decipher the film its self.
