“Sweeney Todd” Film Poster Analysis

Sweeney Todd Poster

- The colours used in this poster are black, grey, white and red. The dark colours shows that this is a dark, sinister film. The red colours connotates blood, danger and perhaps the devil.

 -The splatter of blood over the title suggests that Johnny Depp has bloodthirsty character to him and he is a dangerous man. Also the fact he is holding a blade makes him look evil and threatening.

 -The red light coming through the floorboards makes it look as if hell is beneath him, and he is the guardian, or that there’s a dark secret lying beneath him.

 -His body language makes you think that he has a non-caring character, that he is quite relaxed the way he is and what he does.

 -Because the chair is red, it makes it look like the chair of death or the throne of the devil.

 -The clothes Johnny Depp is wearing and the props used around the room shows that the film is set sometime near the Victorian times.

 - The white text at the bottom of the poster may be used for contrast as the floor boards are dark grey.

- “Never forget, never forgive” gives a hint of what the movie is about. This is written in red text, so suggests that it is meaning revenge.
