Language:
Audrey Hepburn, the star of the movie, is clearly used for star power to attract more viewers as she was
a very popular movie star with many fans. Her name is
very large and bold, almost as much as the title of the
movie. Hepburn's character is portrayed as very elegant
with a dress and fancy jewellery. She looks like a posh,
girly character. The landscape of skyscrapers are shown
in the background which indicates the movie takes place
in a city, perhaps New York. The skyscrapers suggest a
business but the couple in front tell us romance will be a
prominent part of the movie. The bright colours tell us
this will be a happy movie and not include themes such as
horror or suspense.
Industry:
The company Paramount is written in small letters on
the bottom which tells us the company was probably
not as big as it is now so they can't rely on the
company for views. 'Technicolor' is written on the
bottom in big letters which was a way of indicating how
advanced the company was as colour was only just being
brought into movies in the 1960's.
Audience:
The movie looks like it's directed towards females as it
has a woman on the poster. The theme of romance is
stereotypically directed towards women. Despite the cover
being animated, it seems as though it's directed towards
adults as they'll enjoy romance movies more.
Representation:
The woman is depicted as being into fashion and dressing
well which was thought of women in the 60's and it plays into
the traditional role of women in society.
