Mise en Scene



The main colours used in the poster are again black and white which is common throughout indie posters.  However the band use a different colour to highlight the female lead the orangey colour is also a reflection of the lead singers unique hair style that shows the bands originality the fiery colour is also an extension of their personality showing them to not be afraid of standing out from the crowd.


The band is central to the poster showing them as a united front the female is at the front emphasising her importance and her status in the group the group is shot simply showing how their emphasis is on them as band and not any fancy gimmicks.


All of the members are giving the audience a direct mode of address which strikes up an initial relationship between; the band the music and the audience all the male band members have an intense facial expression whilst the girl has a slight half-smile on her lips showing that the band has two dimensions a serious passion for the music but a friendly relationship with their audience.


Women in the poster are represented to be all-powerful and at the forefront steering the band. She is also emphasised by wearing all white compared to the other members showing her as superior to her male counterparts.
