Film Poster- "Unknown"

This is the film poster for the film “Unknown” released in 2011. The image of the main character dominates this poster, along with the tagline “Take back your life”. The look in the male’s eyes is quite enigmatic. The polysemic nature could mean a number of things ranging from anger, to worry or even feeling lost. The title is relatively small in comparison to the tagline making it almost insignificant. Just above the title is the only clearly visible name on the poster which is of the main star, suggesting that he is the most significant and popular star in the film and will attract a wide audience. The billing block looks quite unorganised, this may have been done to symbolise the dysfunctional narrative of the film. The dull, blue adjusted colours in the poster create an air of sadness and perhaps mystery over the poster and the film itself. The date is also quite eye catching, although it is missing the year of release. Maybe reiterating the “unknown”.
