Poster Analysis- 'Must Peeter'

'Must Peeter' follows the story of an individual called Peter. Peter and his wife are having dinner with friends in a restaurant. They have not quarrelled for two weeks. A new record could be in the making. A trivial argument soon grows into a quarrel and the night brings morbid entertainment into their relationship.

through elements of media language, this poster portrays a dark and sinister atmosphere. The camera angle is at a low angle giving the impression that the audience is looking up at the character and in turn connoting an autocratic power about Peter. The lighting in this poster also further supports an aery environment by casting shadows on both the setting and the facial expressions of Peter, which overall denotes a menacing image. One significant prop in the text is the cigarette placed in Peter's mouth which connotes an impulsive and addictive personality, revealing that the character is in fact someone who lives their lifestyle on the edge. From analysing the previous poster 'Chief' it is is evident that there are some similarities in terms of representation. Like 'Chief', 'Must Peeter' conveys only one male character at the centre of the text, implying that the sequence represents, again a elder male demographic, aged 20-40 years old. Which therefore means the target audience holds a similar market. From analysing the text from a perspective of someone who hasn't yet observed the short film, it appears to fall into a Thriller/Drama genre, this is supported further by the media language discussed above.

Unlike 'Chief', the titling for 'Must Peeter' takes a different approach both in terms of font style, font size and composition in the frame. The font is an unusual block serif sans font connoting a vintage feeling, accompanied by the characters costume it is quite possible the sequence is based in the 1970's. The size conveys an element of simplicity but yet bold power at the same time, which is a contrasting difference to 'Chief'.
