The one aspect that immediately jumped out to me about this poster is its simplicity. The poster looks more like a teaser poster because it doesn't give much a way in terms of information but this simplistic design just manages to create more interest and anticipation for the movie without giving away to much of the movies story.

I also very much like the tagline of the movie. "This is the story of a lifetime".  I thought that this was a really effective tagline as much like the rest of the poster it doesn't tell the audience much about the story but instead creates intrigue telling the audience that they do not want want to miss this movie as it is going to be something spectacular and once in a lifetime. The audience are constantly left considering what could make the movie so interesting and so this would make the audience want to go out and learn more about the movie and so becoming more emotional invested in the movie.

One aspect i thought was very effective was the direct mode of address where the subject of the poster is looking directly at the audience connecting with them and also making the audience feel as though that they are part of the story.

Furthermore i really liked how the poster is split into three different images and all three showing different filters on each of the different images. I really like the split down the middle as it is something that is really unique and helps the poster to stand out immensely.  I think this type of design is something that i will come back to in terms of design and the way the poster is split as i think it is something that makes the poster what it is. I very much liked how the person who is split is shown through different stages of his life.

The title of the movie is situated at the bottom of the page so that the audience can take in the rest of the page. It is also situated in original font that allows the title to stand out and attract the audience into looking at the poster.
