Harold & Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay


This is the movie advertising poster for Harold & Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay. The image, although in the background, dominates the majority of the consumers attention. It is a very colourful image, directing any assumptions of the film towards a happier genre such as comedy. The two characters shown are the main characters within the film and dominate the majority of the screen time. Every part of the image is a sense of lack of freedom, such as the bright orange criminal jumpsuits, the wire fence and the guards tower in the distance between Harold and Kumar. This poster partially relies upon the consumer having seen the previous film in order to understand fully the story of the film other then escaping from a detention centre all-be-it, the most heavily protected protection centre in america. The title "ESCAPE FROPM GUANTANAMO BAY" is very small compared to the names of the characters "HAROLD & KUMAR." This is showing that the film is a about foreign characters in living in america. The comical distress on the faces draws in the consumer and then tells the consumer what the film is called as the consumer must be closer to read the title when compared to other film posters.
