Pastel/neutral colour scheme; blue and pink connotes elements of romance that may occur throughout the film which is commonly used in romance/teen films
Reviews, star ratings and awards that the film has won stand out to show that it's a film worth seeing
The main actress is the only one in the poster so this shows that she is the main focus and the film most likely revolves around her and her life
Effective positioning as the golden rule has been used so your eyes automatically focus on the girl
Sans serif font which is a contemporary font
The torn wallpaper in the background could symbolize neglect and the poor lifestyle
Unique film poster which incorporates the use of illustrations, shading and black outlines which makes it look quite animated - the illustrations and shading further enhances the idea of a typical diary for a teenage girl as it makes it quite personal
Again, the same colour scheme as Fishtank and the use of reviews and star ratings, conforming to common conventions in teen urban film posters
The font is quite messy unlike Fishtank which is looks tidy with sharp edges, the font used in the poster imitates her handwriting since it's a diary
"Some things are best kept secret" - the tagline is relevant to the film and title since it's about a diary
This is a social realist film; the mum is holding a cigarette which could show that issues such as smoking/drug-use is covered in this film. Also, the review "finally a film that gets youth" shows that it is a relatable film which covers issues that youths will face
The gun in the poster is coincidentally pointing to the young girl
London and Brighton are both very different locations so there is a strong contrast; both London and Brighton are in bold
Font has a scratched effect to show that it's an urban movie that covers social realism
"Innocence has nowhere to hide" - although she is an innocent young girl, she still has to face reality and issues such as prostitution, being independent, etc.
A young boy is laying on the grass which is effective as this film is about a boy growing up and we usually associate grass with childhood, parks and fun.
The poster is very simple as the quote at the top of the poster tells us what it's about
The font of 'Boyhood' looks quite messy, almost like a child wrote it; very simple colours - possibly enhancing how simple childhood is?
