Tomer Hanuka

This poster which Tomer hanuka designed is of the film 300. This poster is of a scene where Leonidas has to claim his title to become king and kill the man-eating wolf.

The layout of this poster is simple and few colours have been used. The layout is Leonidas holding his weapon and the wolf circling around him. The features on the wolf’s face such as the eyes and mouth are the colour red and red is associated with death and blood and this could be why Hanuka has put this colour in the wolf’s face because it is blood thirsty. Leonidas has cuts on his back and legs and just this one colour change tells what has happened. The Title of the film 300 is used in a scribble like blood on the wall and it has splats and splodges of the red ink or blood. This title comes across to say that maybe the film is brutal and gory.

In the poster the wolf looks like it has been stuck onto the poster because it has a misty brown colour. The wolf also looks like it has starved because it’s has a very thin stomach. I think the colours in this poster especially the background does not suit the book and film because the scenery is in a canyon and it is very dark and dulland you can only see the wolf’s eyes. However though, Hanuka could also be referring to Frank Miller’s graphic novel.

This scene is the first scene in the film and I do not consider it to be one of the most important scenes in the film, the fighting scenes are because it is an action film.
