Cemetery Junction Poster

The poster for the film Cemetery Junction shows the five main characters of the film with a plain beige background, something which is effective in keeping the focus on them. The outfits the characters are dressed in here are ones that are shown in the trailer, following a certain continuity which the audience can then associate with the film. Although at first glance the characters seem to be placed equally in rows behind the frontman, at a closer glance they are placed further away, with Ricky Gervais at the back connoting his part in the film won't be a main part, whereas the character that we see in the trailer (left to the young lad at the front) is placed just behind him suggesting he is important to the plot aswell, although having watched the trailer i would have thought he would be placed at the front instead of the tall character in the leather jacket.
The poster mainly consists of men portraying the male dominated era in which the film was set, however the female which appears in this is holding a superior pose and wearing a red dress which shows her femininity but considering she is the only girl featured it gives the impression that she is important to the plot.
The title of the film 'Cemetery Junction' is in bold capital letters in the same colour font as was used in the trailer, giving a sense of continuity.
The tagline - 'Be young, Be free, Be somebody' again continues on from the trailer where it specifically focuses on individuals and aspects of their life, what type of person they are -whether they are out for fun or a good job. As with the trailer, the 'written and directed by' credits appear just before the title, giving the same authenticity of other films.
