Title cover - Swordfish


The frontcover shows all the main characters, this immediately attracts the audience because there are many famous people in this film. The title of the film is very different to the front cover which can confuse the audience which will cause them to want to watch it. The title of the film is in big letters and is bold and stands out. It is above the characters and the names of the all the main characters on the the front as well. The picture is very important. It is in black and white, and it creates an eery feeling and the feeling of being alone. This resembles the genre and this can persuade the audience to watch the movie. The position of the actors can be interpreted as they are a gang. This can be the icon in this movie as it is very relatable and the audience can understand. The gang are posed so that they are united and this gives them the feeling of power leaving the audience along and vunerable. The audienced feel interested and wants them to watch the movie. The background shows that they are in a hide out or in a secret place which responds to the title and where there is writing that says "password accepted". This can cause the audience to want to find out more causing them to watch th movie again. The review of the movie also persuades people to buy and watch the movie because it is a known newspaper which means people are more convinced to watch the movie.

The colours of the cover indicate that the movie is dark and it for tells that the genre of the film. The dark colours, black white and grey, highlight the bright colour yellow of the strange animal on the front. The icon in the front of the dvd is an unknown animal.

However, the close up is of her face and highlighting the eye. This can be interepted as something that she sees.
