Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire
This poster grabs your attention through use of bright, bold, block colour. The word 'Precious' is written in white, on the red background making it stand out and the use of the colour red could be to suggests the idea of blood. The large woman in the centre is created in black jagged shapes and has the siloutte of a hand cleverly disguised into her profile. The use of the colour black creates mystery, and the pointed rough fragments highlight that she has been hurt, and her body shattered. From this powerful image we can tell that the subject matter of the film itself may be explicit and graphic through the placing of the hand maybe she has been sexually abused? This female figure is obviously the protagonist, taking up a large amount of the pictorial space and the viewer can tell she is woman through the outline of her hooped earrings.
The names of the films actors is placed at the top of the poster, emphasising the star quality, including popular and well known artists such as Mo'nique, Mariah Carey and Gabourey Sidibe. Also positioned at the top of the poster are the successes the film has had, including awards at the Sundance film festival. Winning awards for acting, audience and a grand jury prize.
