Love & Other Drugs
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a really great summary. You mentioned the woman's hair so I think you should talk about how the man's is brown and he also has hair on his chest. I would also talk about the dark wood on the walls and in the night table. You could also say something about the green carpet.
No Strings Attached
I think you should mention the white walls and creme beddings. I also think you should say something about all those books on the book shelf. Mention what they both look like physically.
I like both movie posters and they both seem to have the same concept. I personally like the Love & Other Drugs poster better. I think it is more dark, mysterious, and interesting.
Love & Other Drugs
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job with this summary. I think just a few other things you could mention would include the various colors in the poster such as the dark brown wooden walls, the gray sheets, and the green carpet. Also there is a lack of covers on the bed which could later help you assume that something had been going on before the picture was taken. The woman also has very bright pink lips.
No Strings Attached
Just a few things you could also mention are the man's purple boxers, the variety of books on the shelf and the contrast between the white walls and the cream bedding. You could also mention the way that the bed is unmade and it looks as if it were recently used.
Both movie posters fit the idea very well. I personally like the Love & Other Drugs poster because I feel like the ambiance of the room they are in could make for a more fun analysis.
Love & Other Drugs
ReplyDeleteThis is a great summary. But I would like you to analysis about the different colors of the title. What is white and blue representing? Does white represent pure, and blue represent something else?
No Strings Attached
I think you can talk more about the bed and the wall and their color. The window of the bedroom is not covered by curtain but there is a wall outside the window that blocked everything from outside. I think this is wired because nobody would like to open the curtain when putting on clothes. And the wall that blocks things from outside may represent that everything that have happened in this room may be a secret.
I like the poster of Love & Other Drugs. It is not showing things so as directly as the other poster but it brings a lot of unknown information that interests the audience.
