Tone and Color


The tone of this poster is very muted and limited. Even if there is a variety of colors that could possibly be used if the photos were left it its original form, they were bleached out to bring out the coldness of the images. The colors are unsaturated causing the colors present in this poster to be washed out. This effect demonstrates the drama and seriousness behind the poster. The theme of this color goes throughout the whole image and even into the title of the movie which is in a gray-ish tone. The dramatic contrast from the front image that is lighter and the image in the background which is much darker creates a tension. There is limited light present in the image. This dark/light contrast brings even more dramatization to the poster. In this sense, a viewer may assume that this movie is filled with drama and tension.
