Revolution (TV show)

Okay, so I know that Revolution is not a movie but I really love this show and I was devastated when it got cancelled #RelocateRevolution!

The main colours in this poster are green and blue which symbolises nature and natural imagery; this links with the electricity cutting out and everything being much greener and more natural. The title of the TV show contrasts this as the O in Revolution is the sign for power which of course is absent in the show.

There is still an element of modern life with the cityscape in the background and the Ferris wheel in the middle distance; this links to a key moment in the first episode in the TV show, so of course this requires

All of the characters seem to be carrying a weapon on their person; this clearly suggests that there will be lots of violence and threat in the show, directed at the main characters primarily. 

The genre conventions that are shown in this poster are horror and mystery. The mystery element is told without actually having to spell it out; the poster leaves the audience asking the question of: 'How did the power go out?'

The poster grabs the audiences attention by the presence of so many weapons in the poster; the audience might be shocked by a teenage girl bearing a crossbow and a teenage boy carrying a bow and arrow.
The word 'premier' on the poster means that more people will feel like they can watch it as it is only just beginning and they won't need any prior knowledge of the show.
