Media Language
It is immediately clear that this short film is about eye
sight this is because:
The title - it is
clear with its point
The image - a
close up of a male character (we can assume he is the main)
The editing in his
eyes suggest something that is non-human in him
The image - is
blurred slightly in areas, signifying the change or problem in eye sight.
The title itself matches the glow in the eyes to clearly,
the cleanliness of the typography suggests sci-fi, it is placed on his forehead
because it is 'dead space' meaning it is not important to the message of the
poster - in this specific one the focus is on the eyes. The image is
purposefully blurred to make link with the narrative, the lighting is low key
and mirrors the lighting of the title. All of the text is centered, the two
actors are centered either side of the title and the producers/directors are
centered at the top. His eyes are the most important aspect of the poster, they
look directly at the audience to be unsettling but to draw attention. The
editing in the pupils have a futuristic feel linking to the genre - almost a
camera lense in the eye. The colour is mainly blues and black, the titles
prominent blue would be the reason for the lightly blue lighting along with the
black background to emphasise the face and keep attention drawn onto the eyes.
Representation
It is difficult to determine representation with a close up,
you can see he is in his mid 30s possible 40s so would be mature and
independent. The collar of his suit is visible suggesting he is middle-higher
class.
Genre
It is clear that this short film has a futuristic narrative
and due to this it would be in the sci-fi genre.
