One thing that immediately stuck out to me from this poster was the simplicity of it.  The poster simply just has an extreme close up of the main character and it is snowing. By just having one main subject of the poster is very effective as it straight away tells the audience who/what the film is about.
I like how in the poster the subject is looking at the camera and is so effectively looking at the audience. By doing this it creates a connection between them and the film immersing the audience into then film making them feel they are part of it. The layout especially with the bruised up character makes the poster seem more interesting and intriguing pulling the audience into watching the movie.

I also very much like the inclusion of the snow as it adds a cold feel to the poster and makes it more effective and makes the poster seem more realistic

I like how the poster has been filtered so that the colour has been de-saturated to give it a more grey and cold like colour which matches with not only the title of the film but also so that it matches with the setting of the poster which is snow making the poster seem that more effective but also that much more colder which may suggest a lot of things to the audience such as is the character in some sort of danger.

The title of the poster is also included so that the audience knows what the movie is called and is in bold capital letters so that audiences can identify it easily. One aspect of the poster that i did like was the tagline for the movie it features just below the film and adds a lot of mystery to the movie. "Live and die on this die". I like how even the tagline doesn't give to much away about the movie but is very effective as it makes the audience raise questions about the movie such as what does it mean and what is it about and is the main character okay and safe and what happens to him.

So overall i really liked this poster because of its simplicity of portraying the plot and the character. This is something that i will look back on for my own poster as with my own poster i want to create something thats more simple and effective rather than a poster that has loads of things going on within it.
