Harry McHale - Poster Analysis #2: Appropiate Behaviour

Conventions:

• Title - larger than all other text
• Critics reviews
• Main image
• Block of credits 
• Release date

Media Language:

The main image for this film shows the setting as well as the assumed main character. The lighting is low key but isn't for a thriller genre, its purpose is let the light focus on the upper half of the character. Her facial expression is sad and the setting is a bathroom, which together contrast with the title, her youthful look suggests she is facing adulthood and due to her facial expression she may not being dealing with it as well as expected.

Narrative:
The critics reviews suggest an "offbeat comedy" therefore it is likely to be about this girls life in a comedic view point. The title "appropriate behaviour" it suggests that she is possibly transitioning into adulthood and how her behaviour will have to change, the age of the character looks around 20 and looking at the setting she is possibly out partying and has realised her attitude needs to change. 

Genre:
As clearly stated in the reviews:
-"Audacious, funny and unique"
-"A witty offbeat comedy" 
This isn't particularly apparent alone in the poster, the emotions and low key lighting of the poster don't come under the typical conventions of comedy, suggesting there is a darker/sadder side to the comedy. 

Representation:
I wouldn't say she is represented negatively simply because it is only the environment/setting that is negative. Her costume is respectable and isn't flaunted instead she is covered, the setting is a bathroom therefore it is a negatively per-sieved setting for her to be in for the main poster as its a representation of the film. However, I do not know the actual plot only what I can assume so this may represent the humour of the film perfectly.
