Practicing the Ancillary Task: Analysing a poster

Half naked girl lying on a lilo, clear sky. Sun glasses- relaxing, peaceful.Her arm is under water, almost touching the piranha suggesting danger/vulnerability and totally unaware of the danger under the water, connoting that the story line could pick up on a surprise attack.

Tagline; promoting 3D to attract 3D fans. ‘3D’ in caps, bigger font, stands out.

Piranha many of them, scary big teeth/ red eyes- denoting the film genre; horror.

Due to the big success of the film ‘300’, the audience will be attracted to watch this film as well from the same director.

The title, piranha is conveyed in red and ‘3D’ is repeated again in form of a 3D effect and in red as well implying danger and blood, reinforcing the film genre; horror.

The website is in red too, strengthen the main title.There is a clear contrast of the piranhas and the girl who has a good body and is very relaxed, on the other hand the piranhas are scary and very revolting this has been done to show the differences between them thus leading to a conflict.
