Analysing Erin Brokovich Poster

In this poster we see Julia Roberts wearing a costume which shows alot of cleavage and this represents her as very prmiscuis. It is also unusual that the title of the film is not at the top but this can connote the protagonists social class status and that she is a hardworking lower class just like us. Even though she is working class, her image takes up most of the page which emphasises her importance in this film. We can also see that she is the main focus in this film as the background is very blurry and the camera is focusing on her. As she is holding a baby in her arms, she is represented as caring and loving. She appeals to the male gaze because of her promiscouis clothing therefore boys and men might be intrested in this film. It can also appeal to mothers as she seems to be a hard working mother herself. She is hard working as she is holding a baby in one arm and a pad in her other hand. She also appeals to young teenage girls as she wears very stylish clothing and modern clothing. From the sunglasses she is wearing we can interpret that she is secretive and that she has a different side to the promiscouis, sexually active individual she appears to be. The image in the poster shows the protagonist by herself with no other adult around which can indicate that she is very lonley in this film. As we can see from the poster this film has been published by universal pictures which is a very popular company and that is one of the main selling points.
