This poster is from the film 'Identity'
It is a very minimalistic poster, which has a very clever main image.
At first glance, the main image looks like just a handprint, but if you look more closely there are clues to the film within it.
The fingers of the print are actually the shapes of the characters within the film. After seeing the film, I then made the connection of why each person is a 'finger'.
The plot of the film includes five people stranded at a motel in a storm. As each person gets killed in turn, they realise they all have things in common, such as hometowns, birthdays, reasons for being on the road, and many other traits. I thought this might be the reason for them all being slightly linked in the poster. However, I then got to the end of the film and found they were all just a figment of someone's mind. Someone who suffered from schizophrenia. This then explained why the handprint was so pivital, as all of the characters were actually the same person.
I thought this image was very clever but very simple.
The colour scheme is kept to a minimum, possibly to make the viewer focus on the main image
I really like this poster and may take some features from it to expand my own subsidary task
