Deconstruction of a poster

                                                                                                                                                                  

This is a film poster from The Grey, featuring Liam Neeson in 2012. : The shot in the poster is a close up, this shows his vulnerability because he is looking deep into the camera. The snowflakes around him suggests that he is in a bleak place. In addition, he is wearing a thick grey jacket, suggesting that he is in a cold place, the fact that the jacket is grey has a connection with the title 'Grey'. The gash on the left side of his face, suggests that his has perhaps been hurt or has been in an accident. The fact that he is the only person in the poster, suggests that maybe he is alone, or lonely, or trapped somewhere. The title 'The Grey' makes me think of fog, stormy weather, snow, wolves and mystery. The slogan underneath 'Live or die on this day' suggests that the film is an adventure and action film. 

Here is a brief description/summary of the film from the IMDb film website:

In Alaska, a team of oil workers board a flight home; however, they cross a storm and the airplane crashes. Only seven workers survive in the wilderness and John Ottway, who is a huntsman that kills wolves to protect the workers, assumes leadership of the group. Shortly after they learn that they are surrounded by a pack of wolves and Ottway advises that they should seek protection in the woods. But while they walk through the heavy snow, they are chased and attacked by the carnivorous mammals.
