Product Research - St Trinian's Poster

• the primary colour used is pink suggesting the film's main characters are female. However, it is a deep pink which suggests there may be mischief in the film
  
• symbols such as the skull and crossbones are used suggesting that there is dangerous plotting in the film. There are also dice used which suggests there will be a gamble of sorts in the plot. Finally a school emblem is used to show the setting of the film.
  
• The main figures of the poster are represented photographically. The girl in the foreground is stood with her chest pushed out and shoulders squared suggesting she is a dominant character.
  
• the messages are mostly portrayed visually. However, the taglines 'School Can Be A Riot' and 'Expect Disruption' are big hints towards the plot of the film. The title of the film is also in the font of the associated TV programme which widens the target audience.
• The intended audience is probably teenagers which we can tell by the school setting and also the old fans of the franchise.
  
• the production values are probably moderate as the setting is computerised
• the actors' names are at the top of the poster but there is no other important information.
• While the poster is effective in drawing the audience's attention it does not feature important information such as the release date or classification of the film so it does not effectively do what it is designed to.
