Film Posters : How Train Spotting became famous + 127 Hours

Within the process of creating the poster the initial stages included in  the  brainstorm had ideas that went back and forth such as' deliberately amateurish snaps and photo booth shots, and of using train windows as frames for the individual portraits'. But instead they settled for a simple poster which was recognized by the D&AD ( design and art direction) that believed despite its visual simplicity and immediacy , its core strength lies in its powerful ambiguity.







              
127 HOURS                     
This is one of many film posters which caught my attention due to its visual meaning as well as its interpreted one. Its obvious visual front shows a small James Franco entrapped between two massive engulfing boulders within an awkward position to withstand himself from falling down, onto what is a much smaller boulder. Where as on the other hand you can interpret the image to represent an hourglass which the outline of the two boulders create where James Franco is stuck in time as the grain of sand (tiny boulder) trapped between the two boulders prolonging entrapment time, which again signifyshow time is an important element to the movies hence " 127 hours".
