This is the official poster for another one of film's inspirations - 'How I Live Now'. Taking up the majority room of the poster, under the title we have it's tagline "Love will lead you home". Straight away we have an insight into one of the film's themes, love. Next to the title and tagline is an image of the main character, played by Saoirse Ronan. A teenager who's life has been torn apart by world war. She is depicted as a typical teenager full of attitude, no different to any other teenager but that's about to change. The tagline and title tell us that she has been ripped away from her home and her normal life. A main part of the story is her trying to get back home to her family, so if love will guide her home, it has to be a very strong aspect of the plot.
The colours used are very heated, with use of reds, oranges and yellows to create an almost nuclear look. Hinting to what might have happened to have Saiorse's character ripped away from her home. The font of the text used is quite damaged-looking and worn down, by the effects of war and neglect. I like the use of the colour to reflect the themes of war and danger, something that we will have to use for our film as it is set in a post-apocalyptic future, damaged and beaten by war.
