Before I Go To Sleep

In the poster the womens face is central in the image with direct lighting onto her face. As this subject is centre of the image it suggests that she is centre of the action in the thriller. The direct lighting on the womens face helps to convey any emotions that she has as they are all shown due to the lighting highlighting them. The shot of the face is also a close up meaning that any emotion on the face can be shown. The two men either side of her also have their faces included in the poster. These two faces are only half face images and they both have direct lighting onto both of them just like the womens face in the middle but this light isnt as bright meaning that what seems to be the main character stands out more on the poster. The half face images are also close ups meaning that along with the direct lighting emotion can be seen on the face. The emotion seen with both of these men is simply a stern looking expression which doesnt give either happy or unhappy connotations away. The three faces on the poster start with the first males face the females face and finally the males face. This means that the females face is in-between both of the male faces and this could have either of two connotations. The first one being that is could suggest that the two men are protecting the women as both of them either side of her provides a screen as protection. On the other hand having both of the faces either side of her face could imply that the two men are working together to catch her and since the faces are put so closely together this could show that they are close to catching her. The eyes of each persons face are made to stand out due to the colour of them being so vivid. The eyes can be used in a great way to suggest certain things such as any emotion that can be found within the person. The eyes of the woman on this poster are opened a lot wider than the two people beside her. This may suggest that woman has a slight amount of fear that she holds whereas the two men beside her have eyes which are more closed and suggest that they have no fear at all. The colours of the eyes also suggest that the two men are dark and have no feelings due to their eyes being somewhat of a dark brown. The womens eyes are a bright blue which give connotations that she is vulnerable.Finally the shadowing that is used with anything that can be seen apart from the faces helps to draw attention to all three of the actors and this again reinforces the fact that these three people are the main subjects of the film and also makes the viewer concentrate on the faces.
