True Romance
The cover to the film True Romance gives nothing away and so we can only guess what’s going to happen from the small captions and the one picture. The man in the picture is pointing a gun at something or someone that the picture doesn’t show, he is also keeping eye contact with whatever it is. Very close behind him seems to be his wife. I get this idea as he has a ring on his wedding finger and the film is called true romance. Her eye contact his fully on him, as if she’s watching his every move for her protection. Neither of them are looking at the camera so we are given the feeling that there are in action at the time and so this may be a scene in the film.
The colours used in the main picture are mainly black, red and grey. Black and grey are both dull, mystery colours and red the colour of blood and danger. The title is in a red bold text which makes it stand out and catches the audiences eye.
The target audience for this film isn’t made to obvious in this film as it is made of one middle-aged male and one middle-aged female, both attractive looking. It doesn’t show what social class they are from or what the films going to be about.
The use of captions on the front cover of the film are the only hints we are given 'stealing', 'cheating' and 'killing'. All three of these are crimes. That’s how we can see that this is a crime film, and the last caption 'who said romance was dead?'. This is a hint of sarcasm as none of these things would be seen as 'romantic' and so we get the idea that they may be a weird, dangerous couple.
